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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia among older adults worldwide. Amidst several hypotheses to explain the pathobiology of the disease are biochemical indicators such as β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques; neurofibrillary tangles, caused by hyperphosphorylated tau protein; oxidative stress; metal dyshomeostasis; low levels of acetylcholine, and neuroinflammation. Considering the multifactorial nature of AD, there has been an increase in research for novel multitarget compounds, mainly utilizing molecular hybridization for drug design. In this review, we focus on the 8-hydroxyquinoline moiety, a privileged metal-binding agent with Aβ antiaggregating properties, and its derivatives, aiming to have an effect on multiple molecular targets. Furthermore, the most prominent structure-activity relationships found on the analyzed compounds, along with the most promising strategies explored by researchers, are discussed. That way, we hope to provide a comprehensive perspective on the development of anti- Alzheimer agents based on the 8-hydroxyquinoline moiety in the last decade.
