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

introductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia among the elderly population. AD is accompanied with the dysregulation of specific neurotrophic factors (NTFs) and their receptors, which plays a critical role in neuronal degeneration. NTFs are small proteins with therapeutic potential for human neurodegenerative diseases. These growth factors are categorized into four families: neurotrophins, neurokines, the glial cell line-derived NTF family of ligands, and the newly discovered cerebral dopamine NTF/mesencephalic astrocyte-derived NTF family. NTFs are capable of preventing cell death in degenerative conditions and can increase the neuronal growth and function in these disorders. Nevertheless, the adverse side effects of NTFs delivery and poor diffusion of these factors in the brain restrict the efficacy of NTFs therapy in clinical situations. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this review, we focus on the current advances in the use of NTFs to treat AD and summarize previous experimental and clinical studies for supporting the protective and therapeutic effects of these factors.

conclusionBased on reports, NTFs are considered as new and promising candidates for treating AD and AD-associated cognitive impairment.
