Nanoplasmonic fiber tip probe detects significant reduction of intracellular Alzheimer's disease-related oligomers by curcumin.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Considerable evidence shows critical roles of intracellular pathogenic events of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In particular, intracellular amyloid-β accumulation and oligomerization are early AD pathologic processes, which may lead to changes in inflammatory molecules and other AD-related pathological components. Curcumin and its analogs have been identified as potential drug candidates for AD. However, the effects of curcumin on intracellular AD pathologic processes remain largely unknown. Here we utilized a recently developed nanoplasmonic fiber tip probe (nFTP) technology and investigated whether curcumin leads to intracellular AD pathologic changes. We showed that our nFTP technology could robustly detect intracellular AD-related protein changes caused by a well-known inflammation inducer and a familial AD mutation. Intriguingly, curcumin remarkably reduced the level of intracellular oligomers while modestly reduced the level of an inflammatory cytokine. Thus, our results provided evidence that curcumin's mechanism of action in attenuating AD pathology is through a major role of decreasing oligomerization.
