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

In a continuing effort to develop multifunctional compounds as potential treatment agents for Alzheimer's disease (AD), a series of bivalent ligands containing curcumin and cholesterylamine were designed, synthesized, and biologically characterized. Biological characterization supported earlier results that the spacer length and its attachment position on curcumin are essential structural determinants for biological activity in this class. Compounds with a spacer length of 17 to 21 atoms exhibited optimal neuroprotection in human neuroblastoma MC65 cells with submicromolar potency. These compounds inhibited the formation of amyloid-β oligomers (AβOs) and exhibited antioxidative activities in MC65 cells. Bivalent ligand 8, with its spacer (length of 17 atoms) connected at the methylene carbon between the two carbonyls of curcumin moiety is the most potent with an EC(50) of 0.083 ± 0.017 μM. In addition, 8 formed complex with biometals, such as Cu, Fe and Zn. Collectively, the results strongly support our assertion that these compounds are designed bivalent ligands with potential as multifunctional and neuroprotective agents.
