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 characterized by progressive neurodegeneration driven by tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Emerging evidence implicates altered DNA methylation (DNAm) in AD but comprehensive analyses in experimental models are limited. Here, we profile DNAm dynamics in two widely used transgenic mouse models of tau (rTg4510) and Aβ (J20) neuropathology, focusing on the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and methylation arrays across multiple disease stages, we identified widespread pathology-associated DNAm alterations in both models. Tau pathology in rTg4510 mice was associated with extensive DNAm remodeling at genes involved in neuronal plasticity, apoptosis, and lipid metabolism, including
