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 common type of dementia. Current treatments for AD are inadequate, and there is a need to design preventive strategies that would improve the resistance or resilience to AD pathology. Because aberrant brain DNA methylation (DNAm) is associated with hallmarks of AD, we tested the hypothesis that a nutritional approach using choline, an essential nutrient and methyl donor, would modulate DNAm to ameliorate AD pathologies. Previous studies showed that perinatal choline supplementation (PCS) reduced AD-like neuropathology and inflammation while improving cognitive performance in AD mouse models. Here we investigated hippocampal and cerebral cortical DNAm patterns by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing from 3 to 12 months in wild-type (WT) and App
