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

Inflammation and oxidative stress are critical pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Hydrogen therapy shows promise due to its selective hydroxyl radical (∙OH) scavenging capacity, yet conventional hydrogen delivery fails to effectively accumulate in the brain due to low solubility and rapid diffusion. Here, we report ultra-small palladium hydride (PdH) nanosheets as a dual-functional nanomedicine for AD treatment. The PdH nanosheets exhibit high hydrogen-releasing efficiency via autocatalysis, enabling in situ ∙OH scavenging in the brain. Concurrently, their near-infrared (NIR) photothermal effect, degrading amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates and transiently enhancing blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability for improved drug delivery. In AD mice, intravenous PdH treatment combined with NIR irradiation significantly reduced escape latency in the Morris water maze, paralleling reductions in brain Aβ plaques and ROS levels. This study establishes a synergistic strategy of nanoscale hydrogen delivery and photothermal therapy, addressing the dual challenges of BBB penetration and multi-pathology intervention in AD.
