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

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the brain. In early pathological conditions, Aβ oligomers localize in mitochondria to promote disease progression by causing mitochondrial dysfunction. Objective: Establish a robust AD pathological Methods: In this study, high-resolution respirometry, flow cytometry, and immunoblotting techniques were used to characterize the negative effects of Aβ oligomer localization in mitochondria and assess the potential neuroprotective effects of SPD. Results: Oligomeric Aβ accumulates in and causes mitochondrial dysfunction, as evidenced by increased mitochondrial superoxide production, decreased mitochondrial mass, and decreased maximal mitochondrial respiration and spare reserve capacity. SPD, an endogenously produced polyamine that can also be provided through exogenous supplementation, improved these markers and protected mitochondria of oligomer-treated cells. Conclusions: SPD ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction caused by Aβ oligomers
