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

Amyloid-beta (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) aggregation are hallmark pathogenic events in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Microglial clearance of these toxic aggregates is essential, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study demonstrates that low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) provides protection against Aβ toxicity in vitro and rescues cognitive deficits in sporadic, young, and aged familial AD mouse models, including reductions in Aβ plaque, tauopathy, and microgliosis, while promoting microglial phagocytosis in aged 3xTg-AD mice. Transcriptomic analysis identifies VUF6002, a histamine H4 receptor (H
