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

objectiveTo explore the mechanism of Dihuang Yinzi (DHYZ) in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by integrating metabolomics and experimental verification.

methodsForty-eight male APP/PS1 mice were divided into model, high- (DHYZ-H), medium- (DHYZ-M), and low-dose DHYZ (DHYZ-L) groups (12 mice per group) according to a random number table. Mice in DHYZ groups were gavaged with DHYZ 6.34, 12.68, and 25.35 g/(kg·d), respectively. Twelve C57BL/6 mice were gavaged with distilled water as the blank group. Metabolomics was used to analyze differential metabolites in the brains of mice. Morris water maze test was used to detect the memory abilities of mice. The hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the general morphology and ultrastructure of neurons. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and amyloid β -protein 1-42 (A β

resultsA total of 82 differential metabolites were identified in the brains of APP/PS1 mice, among which 7 differential metabolites could be regulated by DHYZ. After DHYZ intervention, the memory abilities of mice significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the number of synapses and neurons in the hippocampus increased, and the mitochondrial morphology and structure were relatively intact. The DHYZ groups exhibited a significant reduction in hippocampal ROS and A β

conclusionsDHYZ could improve mitochondrial dynamics and synaptic plasticity in APP/PS1 mice, inhibit oxidative stress, and thereby enhancing learning and memory abilities in APP/PS1 mice. Its mechanism might be related to activation of the cAMP/PKA/CREB-BDNF signaling pathway.
