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) is a devastating, age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline, neuronal loss, and hallmark pathologies like β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation. With global aging, more AD patients or high-risk individuals undergo perioperative care, exposing them to inhaled anesthetics such as isoflurane and sevoflurane. Preclinical and clinical evidence on these agents' effects on AD pathogenesis remains conflicting, ranging from exacerbating pathology to neuroprotection, highlighting the critical need to clarify the context-dependent effects and mechanisms driving these outcomes. This review synthesizes how inhaled anesthetics interact with core AD pathologies, highlighting the widely used inhaled anesthetics on AD progression, molecular targets, and exposure parameters. Furthermore, we discuss emerging neuroprotective interventions (e.g., antioxidants, trehalose) that mitigate neuronal damage. These findings inform personalized perioperative strategies for AD-susceptible populations, aiming to reduce iatrogenic risks and improve long-term neurological outcomes.
