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

Cognitive impairment (CI), a progressive decline in memory, reasoning, and executive functions, arises from neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathologies. Globally, 10% of adults aged ≥65 exhibit mild CI (MCI), with 15% progressing annually to dementia. Alzheimer's disease (AD) constitutes 60-70% of dementia cases, showing a higher incidence in women, while vascular dementia (VaD) accounts for 20%. By 2050, dementia cases may reach 152 million, straining healthcare systems. Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), a key immune-inflammatory mediator, is implicated in CI pathogenesis. Expressed abundantly on endothelial cells, VCAM-1 disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and exacerbates neuroinflammation. This review delineates VCAM-1's role in BBB dysregulation, neuroinflammatory interactions, and its potential as a biomarker/therapeutic target. Future research should clarify VCAM-1 signaling mechanisms and develop targeted interventions for early CI management.
