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

From the first described AD case in 1901 to the current year 2022, understanding the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia has undergone a long and tortuous journey. Many mechanisms of AD etiology have been proposed and studied. However, current medications and FDA-approved treatments cannot cure AD and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD). Recently, brain hypoperfusion associated with neurovascular dysfunction was recognized as one of the causal factors in the development of AD dementia. Arteriosclerotic changes were observed in the first AD case. A recent study reported that the functional hyperemic response to whisker stimulation was reduced in 9-12 months old atherosclerotic mice. Interestingly, they found that evoked hemodynamic responses were not altered in age-matched AD mice or AD mice with superimposed atherosclerosis using 2D-optical imaging spectroscopy in chronic studies. However, functional hyperemia was impaired in AD mice using the same approach in an acute study. It is essential to scrutinize the available data critically since different genetic backgrounds, ages, sexes of studied animal models, and different approaches used for the same function even structural examination may provide opposite information. We certainly are closer to truly understanding the pathogenesis of dementia. We expect positive results from using aducanumab (Aduhelm®) as the first FDA-approved anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody as a treatment for AD/ADRD. We hope to identify and develop new drugs targeting other potential contributing mechanisms such as the cerebral vascular pathways.
