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

The Puri-Li kinetic model is explored here to study the contribution of microglia and astroglia during the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is carried out by solving the Puri-Li model under steady-state conditions. The derived expressions show that both of them play a role in the pathogenesis of AD. Examination of the steady-state solutions where microglia and astroglia are involved shows that equilibrium conditions are achieved by microglia and astroglia destroying neurons. These findings from this model are in agreement with the results in the literature, where microglia and astroglia are considered to act as inflammatory cells producing toxins to destroy neurons. In addition, the study also showed that the number ratio of the total astroglial cells to the total microglial cells increases with the progression of AD. With advances in three dimensional imaging and selective staining, this ratio could be used as a valuable marker to monitor AD.
