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

Objectives: To systematically investigate the molecular associations between 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), an environmental transformation product of the tire antioxidant 6PPD, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Methods: An integrative strategy combining network pharmacology, transcriptomic validation, and machine learning was employed. Intersecting targets were identified through multi-database mining, followed by functional enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses. Transcriptomic validation, SHAP-based XGBoost analysis, Mendelian randomization, and molecular docking were performed to evaluate target expression, diagnostic value, causal associations, and binding affinities. Results: A total of 92 intersecting targets were identified, enriched in synaptic structures, kinase activity, neuroinflammation, and apoptotic pathways. PPI analysis revealed 23 core targets, with Conclusions: This study provides the first systematic characterization of the molecular mechanisms by which 6PPD-Q may contribute to AD pathogenesis, potentially through inducing oxidative stress, activating neuroinflammation, and disrupting kinase signaling networks.
