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

Inflammatory responses, manifested in excessive oxidative stress and microglia overactivation, together with metal ion-triggered amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition, are critical hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The intricate pathogenesis causes severe impairment of neurons, which, in turn, exacerbates Aβ aggregation and facilitates AD progression. Herein, multifunctional melanin-like metal ion chelators and neuroinflammation regulators (named PDA@K) were constructed for targeted treatment of AD. In this platform, intrinsically bioactive material polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA) with potent metal ion chelating and ROS scavenging effects were decorated with the KLVFF peptide, endowing the system with the capacity of enhanced pathological blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing and lesion site accumulation via Aβ hitchhiking. In vitro and in vivo experiment revealed that PDA@K had high affinity toward Aβ and were able to hitch a ride on Aβ to achieve increased pathological BBB crossing. The engineered PDA@K effectively mitigated Aβ aggregate and alleviated neuroinflammation. The modulated inflammatory microenvironment by PDA@K promoted microglial polarization toward the M2-like phenotype, which restored their critical functions for neuron care and plaque removal. After 3-week treatment of PDA@K, spatial learning and memory deficit as well as neurologic changes of FAD
