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 progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which oxidative stress drives amyloid beta accumulation and neuronal damage. Fluid-based oxidative stress-related biomarkers offer promising, minimally invasive platforms for early detection, with this review evaluating their diagnostic potential. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified human studies published between 2000 and 2025 examining fluid-based oxidative stress-related biomarkers in individuals with AD. Elevated lipid peroxidation markers (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and 1-palmitoyl-2-[5'-oxovaleroyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) were consistently linked to AD and cognitive decline. Antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione [GSH] peroxidase, and catalase) showed reductions, while GSH and the GSH:oxidized GSH ratio emerged as robust indicators of redox imbalance in AD. Urinary 8-hydroxyguanosine demonstrated compartment-specific sensitivity. Altered trace elements (low selenium, iron, uric acid, and high copper) reflected systemic disruption in AD. Peripheral oxidative stress-related biomarkers offer scalable, minimally invasive avenues for AD diagnosis and monitoring, supporting improved clinical decision making.
