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

Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression involves cerebral microvascular endothelial cell senescence induced by brain hypoperfusion, which contributes to blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. While Notch1 signaling is known to exacerbate endothelial senescence and neuroinflammation via vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), the mechanism by which it mediates hypoxia-induced endothelial aging in AD remains unclear. Furthermore, although Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) has been shown to alleviate cerebral hypoperfusion in AD, whether it acts by directly modulating the Notch1/VCAM-1 axis is unknown. This study aimed to determine whether AS-IV mitigates endothelial senescence and AD pathology by modulating the Notch1/VCAM-1 pathway. Methods: Transcriptomic analysis of AD patient data and network pharmacology identified Results: Conclusion: AS-IV alleviates HR-induced endothelial senescence by modulating the Notch1/VCAM-1 axis. Our data suggest that AS-IV does not merely inhibit Notch1 but acts by modulating its signaling toward a protective equilibrium, thereby attenuating endothelial senescence and inflammation associated with the restoration of Notch1/VCAM-1 signaling balance. These findings highlight the potential of AS-IV as a therapeutic candidate for AD vascular pathology.
