Riluzole and its prodrugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Pharmaceutical patent analyst, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Current medications for Alzheimer's disease help manage symptoms and behavioral problems. Nevertheless, they do not slow the progression of cognitive decline or dementia. A potential approach for treating Alzheimer's disease is to target neurons that are sensitive to disease pathobiology such as glutamatergic neurons. Several patents disclosed methods for treating Alzheimer's disease by administering riluzole or its prodrugs. Clinical trials revealed that 6 months treatment using riluzole or troriluzole is associated with a slower decline in the tomographic measures of the positron emissions of cerebral glucose metabolism in Alzheimer's patients. The proposed strategy claims to prevent and/or slow the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's patients and to enhance global functioning. These claims may also pave the way for other glutamate modulators to be used for Alzheimer's disease.
