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 a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in the hippocampus. Despite the pathological importance of the hippocampal degeneration in AD, little topographical evidence exists of impaired hippocampal connectivity in patients with AD. To investigate the anatomical connections of the hippocampus, we injected the neurotracer 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3'3,3'-tetramethyl-indocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) into the hippocampi of 5XFAD mice, which were used as an animal model of AD. In wild-type controls, DiI-containing cells were found in the entorhinal cortex, medial septum, locus coeruleus, dorsal raphe, substantia nigra pars compacta, and olfactory bulb. Hippocampal inputs were decreased in multiple brain regions in the 5XFAD mice compared to wild-type littermate mice. These results are the first to reveal alterations at the cellular level in hippocampal connectivity in the brains of 5XFAD mice. These results suggest that anatomical mapping of hippocampal connectivity will elucidate new pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets for AD treatment.
