Dysfunctional respiration as a risk factor for Alzheimer disease: a hypothesis.
Review in Metabolic brain disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cerebral hypoxia and ischemia are critical pathological factors in the etiology of Alzheimer disease. Common types of dysfunctional respiration, such as hyperventilation, oral breathing, thoracic breathing and hypoventilation have been shown to induce cerebral hypoxia and ischemia. Therefore, it is proposed that these respiratory abnormalities are risk factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Consequently, correcting these respiratory abnormalities could counteract the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease in vulnerable populations. These therapeutic strategies might also be applicable to other types of degenerative dementia that share pathomechanisms with Alzheimer disease, e.g., dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia and vascular dementia.
