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

Selenoproteins contain selenium (Se), which is included in the 21st proteinogenic amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that exerts its biological actions mainly through selenoproteins. Selenoproteins have crucial roles in maintaining healthy brain activity. At the same time, brain-function-associated selenoproteins may also be involved in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The selenoproteins GPx4 (glutathione peroxidase 4), GPx1 (glutathione peroxidase 1), SELENOP (selenoprotein P), SELENOK (selenoprotein K), SELENOS (selenoprotein S), SELENOW (selenoprotein W), and SELENOT (selenoprotein T) are highly expressed, specifically in AD-related brain regions being closely correlated to brain function. Only a few selenoproteins, mentioned above (especially SELENOP), can bind transition and heavy metals. Metal ion homeostasis accomplishes the vital physiological function of the brain. Dyshomeostasis of these metals induces and entertains neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we described some of the proposed and established mechanisms underlying the actions and properties of the above-mentioned selenoproteins having the characteristic feature of binding transition or heavy metals.
