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

Iron accumulation in the brain is widespread in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia. According to numerous studies, too much iron triggers the development of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, both of which accelerate the onset of AD. Iron sequestration and storage were disrupted by high iron, and the pattern of interaction between iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) and iron-responsive elements (IREs) was altered. The 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTRs) of their APP mRNA transcripts have an IRE stem-loop, which is where iron influx enhances the translation of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Iron regulated APP expression via the release of the repressor interaction of APP mRNA with IRP1 by a pathway similar to the iron control translation of the ferritin mRNA by the IREs in their 5'-UTRs. This leads to an uncontrolled buildup of redox active Fe
