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

Myelin deterioration impairs neural communication and may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the spatiotemporal relationship between myelin degeneration and AD pathology remains unclear. We developed a novel imaging method-double-scan Cyto- and myelo-architecture (dsCMA)-that integrates multi-fluorescent labeling of cytoarchitecture and pathological markers with brightfield myelin staining on the same tissue sections. Coupled with computational tools for automated detection and quantification of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and myelinated axons, dsCMA enables systematic analysis of Aβ-myelin interactions in 5xFAD mice and postmortem human AD tissues. In mice, we identified progressive, region-specific myelin disruption associated with Aβ accumulation, particularly in the hippocampus and cortex. Human samples revealed variable Aβ-myelin spatial relationships across individuals and regions, with evidence supporting a potential myelin origin for some plaques. These findings offer new insights into Aβ-myelin interplay and establish dsCMA as a scalable platform for histopathological analysis in translational and longitudinal AD research.
