Neuromodulating roles of estrogen and phytoestrogens in cognitive therapeutics through epigenetic modifications during aging.
Review in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Estrogen (E2) plays important role in regulating hippocampal learning and memory. The decline of E2 after menopause affects learning and memory and increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD). Additionally, from the estrogen receptor (ER) mediated gene regulation; E2 also regulates gene expression at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels through epigenetic modifications. E2 recruits a number of proteins called co-regulators at the promoter region of genes. These co-regulators act as chromatin modifiers, alter DNA and histone modifications and regulate gene expression. Several studies show that E2 regulates learning and memory by altering chromatin at the promoters of memory-linked genes. Due to structural similarities with E2 and low side effects, phytoestrogens are now used as neuroprotective agents to recover learning and memory in animal models as well as human subjects during aging and different neurological disorders. Growing evidence suggests that apart from anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, phytoestrogens also act as epigenetic modifiers and regulate gene expression through epigenetic modifications. The epigenetic modifying properties of phytoestrogens are mostly studied in cancer cells but very little is known regarding the regulation of synaptic plasticity genes, learning and memory, and neurological disorders. In this article, we discuss the epigenetic modifying properties of E2 and the roles of phytoestrogens as epigenetic modifiers in the brain to recover and maintain cognitive functions.
