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 AND

objectivesAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia in older individuals. Ferroptosis, a programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent membrane lipid peroxida-tion is implicated in AD pathology. Increasing evidences have shown that plant-derived dietary antioxidants exhibit their anti-ferroptosis activity. However, the anti-AD mechanism of plant-derived dietary antioxidants remains elusive. Therefore, this review aims to explore the anti-AD effects of plant-derived dietary antioxidants via ferroptosis regulation. METHODS AND STUDY

designThis review examines the available published data from all peer-reviewed original research articles on following topics: ferroptosis mechanisms, the role of ferroptosis in AD, the preclinical or clinical studies of plant-derived dietary antioxidants in cell, animal models of AD or patients with AD.

resultsFerroptosis is involved in AD pathology. Importantly, we clarify why docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich brain phospholipids are extremely susceptible to lipid peroxidation. In addition, plant-derived dietary antioxidants such as vitamin E (VE), resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), curcumin, quercetin, baicalein and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) show the anti-AD effects in preclinical AD models and prevent decline of cognition in healthy elderly population. Clinical studies show that ALA prevents decline of cognition of AD patients although most plant-derived dietary antioxidants exhibit con-flicting results.

conclusionsIt suggests that a plant-based diet may lead to potential health benefits in preventing cognitive decline in healthy elderly population. In regard to ALA, further clinical studies are highly recommended to evaluate its therapeutic potential that could optimize its dietary intake for preventing and alleviating decline of cognition of patients with AD.
