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

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, poses a significant threat to the health of the aging population. The pathological hallmarks of AD include the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) within the brain. While substantial neuronal loss has been consistently observed in AD, the precise mechanisms underlying neuronal elimination remain incompletely understood. As a distinct form of regulated cell death, the contribution of ferroptosis to AD pathogenesis and progression warrants further investigation. This review critically examines the amyloid cascade hypothesis within the context of AD, with particular emphasis on the molecular signatures of ferroptosis and their contributions to canonical AD pathogenesis and cognitive decline. We aim to provide an updated perspective on AD etiopathogenesis. Furthermore, we synthesize current therapeutic strategies targeting ferroptosis inhibition in AD, highlighting recent advances that hold significant implications for guiding present and future translational efforts.
