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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques followed by intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. An unrestrained immune response by microglia, the resident cells of the central nervous system (CNS), leads to neuroinflammation which can amplify AD pathology. AD pathology is also driven by metabolic dysfunction with strong correlations between dementia and metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Since elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels appear to be a major risk factor for developing AD, we investigated the lipid metabolism transcriptome in an AD versus non-AD state using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and microarray datasets from N9 cells and murine microglia. We identified 52 differentially expressed genes (DEG) linked to lipid metabolism in LPS-stimulated N9 microglia versus unstimulated control cells using RNA-seq, 86 lipid metabolism DEG in 5XFAD versus wild-type mice by microarray, with 16 DEG common between both datasets. Functional enrichment and network analyses identified several biological processes and molecular functions, such as cholesterol homeostasis, insulin signaling, and triglyceride metabolism. Furthermore, therapeutic drugs targeting lipid metabolism DEG found in our study were identified. Focusing on drugs that target genes associated with lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation could provide new targets for AD drug development.
