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 first successful attempt to obtain purified aluminum metal was accomplished by the Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Orsted in 1824, however it was not until about ~140 years later that aluminum's capacity for neurological disruption and neurotoxicity was convincingly established. The earliest evidence of the possible involvement of this biosphere-rich metallotoxin in Alzheimer's disease (AD) originated in the early-to-mid-1960's from animal and human research investigations that arose almost simultaneously from independent laboratories in the United States and Canada. This short communication pays tribute to the pioneering research work on aluminum in susceptible species, in AD animal models and in AD patients by the early investigators Drs. Robert D. Terry, Igor Klatzo and Henryk M. Wisniewski with special acknowledgement to the late Dr. Donald RC McLachlan, and their contemporary physician-scientist colleagues and collaborators. Together these researchers established the groundwork and foundation towards our understanding of the potential contribution of aluminum to progressive, age-related and lethal neurodegenerative diseases of the human central nervous system.
