Chronic Stress, Depression, and Alzheimer's Disease: The Triangle of Oblivion.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Chronic stress and high levels of the main stress hormones, and glucocorticoids (GC), are implicated in susceptibility to brain pathologies such as depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD), as they promote neural plasticity damage and glial reactivity, which can lead to dendritic/synaptic loss, reduced neurogenesis, mood deficits, and impaired cognition. Moreover, depression is implicated in the development of AD with chronic stress being a potential link between both disorders via common neurobiological underpinnings. Hereby, we summarize and discuss the clinical and preclinical evidence related to the detrimental effect of chronic stress as a precipitator of AD through the activation of pathological mechanisms leading to the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) and Tau protein. Given that the modern lifestyle increasingly exposes individuals to high stress loads, it is clear that understanding the mechanistic link(s) between chronic stress, depression, and AD pathogenesis may facilitate the treatment of AD and other stress-related disorders.
