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 not a single-cause disease; rather, it is a complex neurodegenerative disease involving multiple pathological pathways influenced by various risk factors. Aggregation and accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau are the most prominent features in the brains of AD patients. Aggregated Aβ and tau exert neurotoxic effects in the central nervous system, contributing to the pathogenesis and progression of AD. They also act synergistically to cause neurodegeneration, resulting in memory loss. In this context, dual inhibition of Aβ and tau aggregation, or dissociation of these two aggregates, is considered promising for AD treatment. Recently, dual inhibitors capable of simultaneously targeting the aggregation and dissociation of both Aβ and tau have been investigated. Specific amino acid domains of Aβ and tau associated with their aggregation/dissociation have been identified. Subsequently, therapeutic agents that prevent aggregation or promote disaggregation by targeting these domains have been identified/developed. In this review, we summarize the major domains and properties involved in Aβ and tau aggregation, as well as the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of agents that simultaneously regulate their aggregation and dissociation. This comprehensive review may contribute to the design and discovery of next-generation dual-targeting drugs for Aβ and tau, potentially leading to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies for AD.
