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 that occurs with aging. Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis.) P. Karst. (G. lucidum) is a traditional medicinal fungus believed to nourish the brain and anti-aging. Ganoderic acid A (GAA), a triterpenoid from G. lucidum, has demonstrated natural neuroprotective effects. This study aims to explore the therapeutic effect and molecular mechanism of GAA on AD. Systematic network pharmacology identified 95 targets, 8 biological functions, and multiple pathways. The results highlighted MAPK family members as core genes, with MAPK1 (ERK2) showing the highest binding affinity to GAA in molecular docking. In vitro experiments revealed that GAA dose-dependently increased the viability of Aβ
