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

backgroundPathological angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier damage may play an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). ACE2 is mainly expressed on the surface of endothelial cells in brain. Recent studies have shown that the expression of ACE2 in AD is reduced, but its role in AD is still unclear.

methodWe induced AD damage in endothelial cells using Aβ

resultsAβ

conclusionOverexpression of ACE2 can improve pathological angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier damage in AD models in vitro by inhibiting NF-κB/VEGF/VEGFR2 pathway activity. ACE2 may therefore represent a therapeutic target for endothelial cell dysfunction in AD.
