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

Aluminum (Al) is an environmental neurotoxin with extensive exposure by humans, but the molecular mechanism of its toxicity is still unclear. Several studies have indicated that exposure to aluminum can impair learning and memory function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of LTP injury and the effect of aluminum exposure on related signal pathways. The results showed that the axonal dendrites of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats exposed to maltol aluminum showed neuritic beading and the dendritic spines were reduced. This resulted in dose-dependent LTP inhibition and led to impaired learning and memory function in rats. The PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway may play a crucial role in this process.
