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

A large body of evidences indicates that axonal transport (AT) defects play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer' disease (AD). AT, a critical cellular process for the maintenance and function of a neuron, requires components of the cytoskeletons as "tracks", motor proteins and ATP as "driving force", adaptor proteins to ensure the specific connection of the transported cargoes and motor proteins as well as active regulation. In AD pathology, AD-linked pathologic factors respectively perturb the four basic components of AT through different signaling pathways to cause AT defects. Mitochondrial transport, which is different from other transport cargoes, is also impaired via special pathways in AD. In this paper, we review the inhibitory effects of those factors on AT and their possible pathways, indicating these factors act in overlapping, synergistic, and circulating ways. Given the contributions of AT defects to AD, recent therapeutic studies focus on microtubule-stabilizing (MT-stabilizing) agents and alteration in phosphotransferase activities, and we propose more therapeutic strategies targeting AT defects.
