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 characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Beyond these hallmark pathological features, the complex pathogenesis of AD involves cellular dysfunctions associated with chronic oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Central to these inflammatory pathways is the extracellular release of the nuclear protein high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) from neurons and microglia. Extracellular HMGB1 disrupts homeostatic and reparative microglial functions, impairing the phagocytic clearance of amyloid-beta and driving neuroinflammation to accelerate AD pathogenesis. Consequently, targeting HMGB1 offers a promising therapeutic strategy for AD. This review examines recent progress and key insights regarding HMGB1-associated neuroinflammatory pathology in AD. We evaluate its regulation across transcriptional upregulation, cellular redistribution, age-related alterations, and Aβ-associated pathology. We further detail the pleiotropic effects of extracellular HMGB1, including neuroinflammation, defective Aβ phagocytic clearance, and genomic instability. Finally, we discuss the potential clinical utility of targeting HMGB1 to mitigate AD progression and provide HMGB1-related perspectives for future studies.
