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

Cerebrovascular lesions are widely prevalent in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their relationship to the pathophysiology of AD remains poorly understood. An improved understanding of the interaction of cerebrovascular damage with AD is crucial for the development of therapeutic approaches. Herein, we investigated the effects of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) in a 5XFAD transgenic (Tg) mouse model of AD. We established CCH conditions in both Tg and non-Tg mice by inducing unilateral common carotid artery occlusion (UCCAO). Cognitive performance in mice was evaluated, and their brain tissue was examined for amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology to elucidate possible mechanisms. We found that UCCAO-operated Tg mice showed impaired cognitive flexibility in the reversal phase of the hidden-platform water maze task compared to sham-operated Tg mice. Interestingly, UCCAO-operated Tg mice used fewer spatial cognitive strategies than sham-operated Tg mice during reversal learning. These cognitive deficits were accompanied by increased Aβ plaque burden and Aβ42 levels in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, 2 regions that play essential roles in the regulation of cognitive flexibility. Furthermore, changes in cognitive flexibility are strongly correlated with the expression levels of enzymes related to Aβ clearance, such as neprilysin and insulin-degrading enzymes. These findings suggest that, in 5XFAD mice, impaired cognitive flexibility is related to CCH, and that Aβ clearance might be involved in this process.
