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

backgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) constitutes a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, manifested by amyloid-β aggregation, phosphorylated tau accumulation, and progressive cognitive deterioration. Current therapeutic interventions remain predominantly symptomatic, underscoring the urgency for more efficacious treatment strategies. PURPOSE: This study elucidated the therapeutic potential of Sanshen San (SSS), a traditional Chinese herbal formula encompassing Polygala Radix, Pini Radix in Poria, and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, on cognitive function and AD pathology.

methodsWe implemented both acute Aβ

resultsChemical analysis unveiled 10 principal bioactive compounds in SSS. The formula substantially ameliorated cognitive performance in both Aβ

conclusionSSS efficaciously mitigates AD pathology through potentiating synaptic function, optimizing mitochondrial homeostasis, and restoring neurotransmitter balance, exemplifying a promising multi-target therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD.
