Showing NAFLD, as a key connector disease between Alzheimer's disease and diabetes via analysis of systems biology.
Article in Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 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
aimThis study was designed to perform network analysis of Alzheimers҆ disease and diabetes and to find their correlation with each other and other diseases/pathways.
backgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) as a neurodegenerative disease and diabetes as a metabolic disease are two major health problems in the recent years. The recent studies have reported their correlation and same spreading pathways of these two diseases together, but details of this relation are not well known yet at molecular level..
methodsIn thermal proteome profiling (TPP) technique, after treatment of the extracted proteins by heat and drug concentration, the resulting proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Enrichment analysis of these proteins led to development of AD and diabetes. First, corresponding genes for each disease were extracted from DisGeNET database and then, protein-protein interaction network was constructed for each of them using the search tool for retrieval of interacting genes and proteins (STRING). After analyzing these networks, hub-bottleneck nodes of networks were evaluated. Also, common nodes between two networks were extracted and used for further analysis.
resultsHigh correlation was found between AD and diabetes based on the existence of 40 common genes. Results of analyses revealed 14 genes in AD and 12 genes in diabetes as hub-bottleneck 7 of which were common including caspase 3 (CASP3), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), catalase (CAT), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), leptin (LEP), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), and interleukin 6 ( IL-6).
conclusionOur results revealed a direct correlation between AD and diabetes and also a correlation between these two diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), suggesting that a small change in each of these three diseases can lead to development of any other diseases in the patients. Also, the enrichments exhibited the existence of common pathways between AD, diabetes, NAFLD, and male infertility.
