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

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and oxidative stress have been implicated in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities were assessed in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and AD subjects compared with aged-matched controls, and subsequently analysed in relation to oxidative stress markers. Both MMP-2 and MMP-9 showed no significant changes versus control subjects. Plasma glutathione peroxidase Se-dependent (GPx-Se) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were higher in AD than in controls (P < 0.05), suggesting a role for GPx-Se in controlling oxidative stress in AD. Negative correlations were observed between MMPs and MDA in AD and MCI patients (P < 0.05). In conclusion, oxidative stress events did not include activation of MMPs and this similar pattern in AD and MCI suggests that both are biochemically equivalent.
