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 dementia is a devastating and incurable disease afflicting over 35 million people worldwide. Amyloid-β (Aβ), a key pathogenic factor in this disease, has potent cerebrovascular effects that contribute to brain dysfunction underlying dementia by limiting the delivery of oxygen and glucose to the working brain. However, the downstream pathways responsible for the vascular alterations remain unclear. Here we report that the cerebrovascular dysfunction induced by Aβ is mediated by DNA damage caused by vascular oxidative-nitrosative stress in cerebral endothelial cells, which, in turn, activates the DNA repair enzyme poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase. The resulting increase in ADP ribose opens transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) channels in endothelial cells leading to intracellular Ca(2+) overload and endothelial dysfunction. The findings provide evidence for a previously unrecognized mechanism by which Aβ impairs neurovascular regulation and suggest that TRPM2 channels are a potential therapeutic target to counteract cerebrovascular dysfunction in Alzheimer's dementia and related pathologies.
