Review in Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

introductionFoods rich in polyphenols have been positively correlated to a reduced risk of several noncommunicable diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this systematic review was to collect and evaluate all the relevant studies on the beneficial effects of polyphenols on AD.

methodsStudies have been collected through a systematic search on two databases: PubMed and Web of Science. Both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with human subjects were included.

resultsA total of 24 studies were included in this review. Twelve studies found a positive correlation with reduced cognitive decline. Five studies did not find any correlation and seven studies reported mixed results. No conclusive evidence was found for phenolic acids and flavonoids. DISCUSSION: This systematic review did not find sufficient evidence to confirm that polyphenols have beneficial effects against AD. Further RCTs of human subjects would be necessary to complete the results drawn from this research.
