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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, which is considered as the most common form of dementia in the elderly. Recently, it is suggested that impaired cerebrovascular function may precede the onset of AD. Claudin-5, which is the most enriched tight junction protein, has been reported to prevent the passage of damaging material at the blood-brain barrier. However, whether claudin-5 impacts AD has no direct evidence. We found a decrease level of claudin-5 in the hippocampus of AD and elder mice. And intravenous injection of claudin-5 improved learning and memory ability in these mice, while knockout of the protein led to impaired learning and memory and long-term potentiation in adult control mice. Furthermore, the effects of claudin-5 are mediated by suppressing inhibitory GABAergic neurotransmission. Our results suggest benefit effects of claudin-5 on learning and memory, which may provide a new treatment strategy for AD.
