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
Purpose: Exploring the effects of acupuncture at the "Yizhi Tiaoshen" acupoint on blood oxygen metabolism and neurological function changes in the brain regions of AD model rats. Methods: The AD model was replicated by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose combined with bilateral hippocampal CA1 injection of Okadaic acid (OA). Thirty rats with successfully replicated model were selected through Morris water maze experiment and randomly divided into model group, donepezil hydrochloride group, and acupuncture group, with 10 rats in each group. After treatment, fNIRs were used to detect changes in Oxy Hb, Deoxy Hb, and Total Hb in the cerebral cortex of rats in each group, in order to evaluate the neurological function changes in key brain areas. Results: The escape latency of the donepezil hydrochloride group and the acupuncture group was shortened, the number of crossings through the original platform increased, and the duration of stay in the quadrant where the original platform was located was prolonged. Based on fNIRs detection, the main differential channels of blood oxygen metabolism in AD rats were identified as 2-2 and 8-7, corresponding to the prefrontal and parietal lobes, respectively. The concentrations of Oxy Hb and Total Hb were significantly increased in both treatment groups, while the concentration of Deoxy Hb was significantly decreased. Conclusion: Acupuncture with the "Yizhi Tiaoshen" acupoint formula and donepezil hydrochloride can improve the learning and memory function of AD rats, and its mechanism may be related to improving blood oxygen metabolism in the prefrontal and parietal regions and protecting neuronal function.
