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 a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised pathologically by the presence of extracellular amyloid plaques and the intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, along with inflammation, and a compromised antioxidant system. Significant insights into the neurobiology to better understand the pathophysiology of AD and to evaluate the possibility of cutting-edge therapy strategies, can be obtained through the selection of a well-designed experimental animal model. From the transgenic to chemical/drug-induced models, none of them represents the complete picture of Alzheimer pathology and incidence of cognitive dysfunction. Researchers did not explain why one model was preferred over another, did not consider how the pathological phenomena were formed (spontaneously, experimentally, or by genetic manipulation), and did not address the traits of the species that affect the results. There is a lack of concordance between preclinical models and clinical trials that could be due to variety of reasons such as incomplete models, choice of animal species, lack of variability, and the validity of the models. To provide greater translation of preclinical AD studies to clinical trials proper designing of the model is essential. This review provides a brief recap ranging from animal doses to their induction mechanism and common limitations of the chemical-induced AD models. • Animal models may fail to replicate the exact pathology of the disease • Validity of the model is essential for proper translation of pathology from animal models to human disease • Appropriate induction doses need to be administered.
