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

The perturbed structure and function of mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM), instead of the amyloid cascade, have been gradually proposed to play a basic role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Notably, autophagy inhibition is one of the main mechanisms of MAM dysfunction and plays an important role in neuronal injury. However, the upstream molecular mechanism underlying the MAM dysfunctions remains elusive. Here, we defined an unexpected and critical role of connexin43 (Cx43) in regulating the MAM structure. The expression levels of Cx43 and mitofusin-2 (MFN2, the MAM biomarker) increase significantly in 9-month-old APP
