Alzheimer's Disease-Thrombosis Comorbidity: A Growing Body of Evidence from Patients and Animal Models.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesA growing body of evidence is amassing in the literature suggesting a correlation between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thrombotic vascular complications, which led to the suggestive hypothesis that thrombosis may contribute to AD onset and progression by damaging the neurovasculature and reducing the cerebral blood flow. In turn, low cerebral blood flow is likely to contribute to neurodegeneration by reducing nutrient and oxygen supply and impairing toxic metabolite removal from the brain tissue.
methodsWe searched the literature for studies in animal models of AD or patients diagnosed with the disease that reported circulating markers of platelet hyperactivity or hypercoagulation, or histological evidence of brain vascular thrombosis.
resultsPlatelet hyperactivity and hypercoagulability have been described in multiple animal models of AD, and histological evidence of neurovascular thrombosis has also been reported. Similarly, clinical studies on patients with AD showed circulating markers of platelet hyperactivity and hypercoagulation, or histological evidence of neurovascular thrombosis collected from post-mortem brain tissue samples.
conclusionsTaken together, a convincing picture is emerging that suggests a strong correlation between systemic or neurovascular thrombosis and AD. Nonetheless, a mechanistic role for haemostasis dysregulation and neurovascular damage in the onset or the progression of AD remains to be proven. Future research should focus on this important question in order to clarify the mechanisms underlying AD and identify a treatment for this disease.
