ACE2 activator diminazene aceturate ameliorates Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology and rescues cognitive impairment in SAMP8 mice.
Article in Aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
Previously, we revealed that brain Ang-(1-7) deficiency was involved in the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). We speculated that restoration of brain Ang-(1-7) levels might have a therapeutic effect against AD. However, the relatively short duration of biological effect limited the application of Ang-(1-7) in animal experiments. Since Ang-(1-7) is generated by its metabolic enzyme ACE2, we then tested the efficacy of an ACE2 activator diminazene aceturate (DIZE) on AD-like neuropathology and cognitive impairment in senescence-accelerated mouse prone substrain 8 (SAMP8) mice, an animal model of sporadic AD. Eight-month-old SAMP8 mice were injected intraperitoneally with vehicle or DIZE once a day for 30 consecutive days. DIZE markedly elevated brain Ang-(1-7) and MAS1 levels. Meanwhile, DIZE significantly reduced the levels of Aβ
