Serum seladin-1 levels in diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease patients.
Article in Acta neurologica Belgica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) has been shown to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Downregulation of selective Alzheimer's disease indicator-1 (seladin-1) occurs in the cerebral regions affected by AD. However, inconsistent results have been reported for the relationship between seladin-1 levels and AD. The effect of DM on serum seladin-1 levels in AD is unknown. The present study is aimed to investigate serum seladin-1 levels in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with AD.
methodsForty-six patients with AD and 25 healthy volunteers over 65 years of age were included in this study. The patients were divided into three groups-those with AD only, those with DM and AD, and control groups. Demographic characteristics and serum seladin-1 levels were compared among the groups.
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference in seladin-1 levels in the AD only group compared to the control group (p = 0.376). However, seladin-1 levels were significantly lower in the DM and AD group compared to the AD only and control groups (p = 0.002, p = 0.001; respectively). Negative correlations were present between seladin-1 and fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, HbA1c, and insulin (p < 0.05; all).
conclusionDecreased serum seladin-1 values in the presence of DM and inverse correlations with diabetic parameters in patients with AD, together with a non-significant difference from the control group, suggests that seladin-1 may be altered only in the presence of DM in patients with AD. Lower serum seladin-1 levels may also play a role in the pathogenesis of AD in patients with DM.
