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

Amyloid-beta (Aβ) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and has been regarded as the main therapeutic target for AD. However, most of the Aβ-targeted clinical trials have not succeeded. Therefore, the Aβ-targeted therapeutic strategy on treating this complex disease needs to be re-evaluated. In this review, we analyzed the challenges and critical points of the current anti-Aβ therapeutic strategies. In addition to Aβ, multiple pathological events such as tau hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, which are involved in AD pathogenesis and synergistically drive disease progression, could be important targets for AD treatment. Tertiary prevention strategies are needed for the successful management of AD due to its complex and dynamic pathogenesis. Systemic perspective addressing the disease pathogenesis within and outside the brain, as well as the multidomain intervention targeting risk factors and comorbidities, are important approaches for the therapeutic solutions of AD.
