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 one of the most serious neurodegenerative diseases and is characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and multiple neurological changes. To date, there are no effective drugs to delay or cure AD. Breviscapine (Bre) is an active ingredient of flavonoids extracted from breviscapus. Previous research suggests that Bre is an effective medicine for the prevention and treatment of AD. In the present study, we sought to explore the molecular mechanisms responsible for short-term beneficial effects of Breviscapine on Aβ burden, neuronal and synaptic, cognitive function in APP/PS1 transgenic mice at 6 months age. Our results showed that 3 months of intraperitoneal treatment with Bre rescued learning deficits, relieved memory retention, improved the ability to explore the outside world, markedly decreased Aβ burden, attenuated function of neocortical and hippocampal neuron, and increased the synaptic proteins levels in the brain of APP/PS1 mice by decreasing BACE1, promoting Aβ-degrading enzyme IDE expression, suppressing RAGE expression, and regulating p38/p53/NT4 pathway. This finding provides more evidence of neuroprotective effects and action mechanisms of Bre antagonist AD, suggesting that Bre may have potential as anti-AD agent.
