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

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited treatments. Xinshubao tablet (XSB), a traditional Chinese medicine, contains several bioactive compounds with notable neuroprotective effects. Our previous studies have demonstrated that XSB can alleviate cognitive deficits in vascular dementia (VaD) models, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for AD. Methods: In this study, scopolamine-induced AD-like mice were orally administered with varying doses of XSB (0.13 g/kg, 0.26 g/kg and 0.52 g/kg) for 28 days. Behavior tests, H&E, Nissl, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot assays were performed to evaluate the neuroprotection of XSB on AD-like mice. Then, fecal 16S rDNA sequencing, serum metabolomics, and hippocampal mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) analysis were performed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Results and discussion: The results revealed that oral administration of XSB improved cognitive function, mitigated neuropathological damage, and alleviated dysfunction in the cholinergic system in AD-like mice. XSB treatment also enhanced gut microbiota diversity, increased the abundance of
