Microbial links to Alzheimer's disease.
Review in PLoS pathogens, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common chronic neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by (1) plaques, (2) neuronal death, (3) hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins, and (4) memory deficits. Despite extensive research, the underlying cause of AD is not fully understood. Evidence that infectious pathogens may trigger AD has been documented for decades. There are notable correlations between microbes (including bacteria, viruses, and fungi) and AD pathologies. Although it is yet to be determined if pathogenic microbes are the causative agent or a contributing factor to AD, the role of infections in the pathogenesis of AD should not be ignored. Even though the pathogens may not cause AD, they may play a direct role in the triggering or exacerbation of AD progression. In this mini review, the current status of pathogens' role in AD etiology will be presented.
