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 is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. The hippocampal formation is the most vulnerable brain area in Alzheimer's disease. Neurons in layer II of the entorhinal cortex and the CA1 region of the hippocampus are lost at early stages of the disease. A unique feature of the hippocampus is the formation of new neurons that incorporate in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. New neurons form synapses with neurons in layer II of the entorhinal cortex and with the CA3 region. Immature and new neurons are characterized by high level of plasticity. They play important roles in learning and memory. Hippocampal neurogenesis is impaired early in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and in human patients. In fact, neurogenesis is compromised in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), suggesting that rescuing neurogenesis may restore hippocampal plasticity and attenuate neuronal vulnerability and memory loss. This review will discuss the current understanding of therapies that target neurogenesis or modulate it, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
