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

Background: Kaixin San Jiawei Granule (KSG) is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation derived from classical prescriptions. Although it has shown promise in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD), its precise mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study aimed to systematically investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying KSG's therapeutic effects on AD through an integrative approach combining network pharmacology with experimental validation. Methods: An Results: Conclusion: KSG improves cognitive function and attenuates Aβ-induced neuronal damage in AD through multi-component, multi-target synergistic mechanisms. These effects appear to be mediated by modulation of the cholinergic system, inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation, and suppression of neuronal apoptosis. These findings provide a theoretical basis and experimental support for developing novel AD therapies based on traditional Chinese medicine.
