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

Numerous studies have demonstrated defects in multiple metabolic pathways in Alzheimer's disease (AD), detected in autopsy brains and in the cerebrospinal fluid in vivo. However, until the advent of techniques capable of measuring thousands of metabolites in a single sample, it has not been possible to rank the relative magnitude of these abnormalities. A recent study provides evidence that the abnormal turnover of the brain's most abundant phospholipids: phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, constitutes a major metabolic pathology in AD. We place this observation in a historical context and discuss the implications of a central role for phospholipid metabolism in AD pathogenesis.
