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

Neuroinflammation is a key modulator of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, yet the impact of non-genetic inflammatory risk factors - such as systemic inflammation - remains poorly defined. Building on our previous work, here we show that 9 months after systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in APP23 mice, microglia-plaque interaction is disturbed and shifts Aβ aggregates toward a less compacted state, as revealed by conformation-sensitive amyloid dyes. Importantly, these structural changes are associated with increased plaque-associated neuritic dystrophy, phenocopying the effects of microglial risk genes. Generalising these findings, we show that across aging in APP23 and APPPS1 mice, and in AD patient tissue, non-compacted amyloid and microgliosis - but not compacted amyloid - are consistent predictors of neuritic damage. Notably, both in mouse and human tissue,
