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 the most predominant cause of dementia, considered a progressive decline in cognitive function that ultimately leads to death. AD has posed a substantial challenge in the records of medical science over the past century, representing a predominant etiology of dementia with a high prevalence rate. Neuroinflammation is a common characteristic of various central nervous system (CNS) pathologies like AD, primarily mediated by specialized brain immune and inflammatory cells, such as astrocytes and microglia. The present study aims to elucidate the potential mechanism of physcion that mitigates LPS-induced gliosis and assesses oxidative stress in mice. Physcion reduced the reactivity of Iba-1- and GFAP-positive cells and decreased the level of inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1β. Physcion also reversed the effect of LPS-induced oxidative stress by upregulating the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. Moreover, physcion treatment reversed LPS-induced synaptic disorder by increasing the level of presynaptic protein SNAP-23 and postsynaptic protein PSD-95. Our findings may provide a contemporary theoretical framework for clinical investigations aimed at examining the pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic approaches for neuroinflammation and AD.
