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

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age-related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood. With advancing age, there is dysregulation of cerebral blood flow, impairment of neurovascular coupling, and increased blood-brain barrier permeability, which may initiate or contribute to the neuropathology associated with LOAD. Changes to the vasculature outside of the brain, including increases in blood pressure and arterial stiffness, may initiate age-related cerebrovascular impairments. Age-related increases in oxidative stress and inflammatory signalling, as well as contributions to LOAD-related neuropathology, such as amyloid-β and hyperphosphorylated tau, impair cerebrovascular cells. In this review, we summarize the evidence for the role of vascular ageing in LOAD, describing age-related cerebrovascular impairments and their causes.
