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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementias and becoming a worldwide problem. As the time goes by, more and more researches show that AD is related to cholesterol in the brain. Both the Aβ and the phosphorylated tau are believed to be the key factors in the pathogenesis of AD. Cholesterol in the brain is involved in a series of interdependent metabolism processes of Aβ including the synthesis, aggregation, neurotoxicity, and elimination. The phosphorylated tau is also considered to be related to cholesterol metabolism. Besides that, there is evidence suggesting that cholesterol might contribute to the pathogenesis of AD by inducing the dysfunction of cerebral vessels such as the arteriosclerosis and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). In this review, we summarize our current understanding on the role of cholesterol in the pathogenesis of AD, and also propose the therapeutic research process on cholesterol-regulating drugs in the treatment of AD pathology.
