The Potential of the Peptide Drug Semax and Its Derivative for Correcting Pathological Impairments in the Animal Model of Alzheimer's Disease.

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, first described over a century ago, is currently among the most common neurodegenerative diseases whose significance is increasingly growing with the aging of populations. Throughout the entire period of its study, no remedies have been found that would be effective in treating - or at least significantly slowing - the pathological process, while being sufficiently safe. In this regard, significant attention is paid to the development and application of natural peptide drugs lacking side effects. The present study assessed the effect of the known neuroprotective peptide Semax and its derivative on the behavioral characteristics and development of amyloidosis in transgenic APPswe/PS1dE9/Blg mice acting as a model of Alzheimer's disease. The open field, novel object recognition, and Barnes maze tests demonstrated that both Semax and its derivative improved cognitive functions in mice. Histological examination showed that these peptides reduced the number of amyloid inclusions in the cortex and hippocampus of the animals' brains. These findings demonstrate the high potential of Semax and its derivatives when used to develop therapeutic and corrective strategies for Alzheimer's disease.
