1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Based on the means of his time, Alois Alzheimer supposed that the disease, later carrying his name, is a disease of older age, and that the pathomorphological structures he described are due to disturbances in brain metabolism. In this contribution, it is discussed which cellular metabolic abnormalities may be representative for age-related sporadic Alzheimer disease (SAD) the predominant form of SAD in contrast to the very rare hereditary early-onset form. In focus are disturbances in glucose/energy metabolism which involve the deficits in acetylcholine, cholesterol and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine beside ATP. Another leading abnormality is the defect in cell membrane composition. The interrelation between abnormal glucose/energy metabolism and membrane defect may be assumed to form the basis for the induction of both the perturbed metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein leading to increased formation of beta-amyloid and hyperphosphorylation of tau-protein destroying cell structures. Alois Alzheimer may have been so prescient to assume most of this 100 years ago.
