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

BDNF/TrkB neurotropic pathway, essential for neural synaptic plasticity and survival, is deficient in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our previous works support that BDNF diminishes AD pathologies by inhibiting delta-secretase, a crucial age-dependent protease that simultaneously cleaves both APP and Tau and promotes AD pathologies, via Akt phosphorylation. Small molecular TrkB receptor agonist 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) binds and activates the receptor and its downstream signaling, exerting therapeutic efficacy toward AD. In the current study, we optimize 7,8-DHF pharmacokinetic characteristics via medicinal chemistry to obtain a synthetic derivative CF
