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 an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder with complex multifactorial pathological cascades, including amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, sustained neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, cholinergic dysfunction and gut-brain axis imbalance. Current marketed anti-AD drugs merely relieve symptomatic cognitive impairment without halting or reversing disease progression, highlighting an urgent demand for novel multi-target therapeutic candidates. Marine ecosystems, covering 71% of the Earth's surface, generate structurally unique, low-toxicity secondary metabolites via adaptive metabolic pathways of marine algae, invertebrates and microorganisms, which represent promising lead compounds for developing marine anti-AD therapeutics with synergistic multitarget neuroprotective activities. This systematic review comprehensively summarizes the anti-AD bioactivities and underlying molecular mechanisms of seven major categories of marine natural products, including marine polysaccharides, terpenoids, macrolides, alkaloids, polyphenols and carotenoids, sterols/lipids, and aminosulfonates. We further perform an integrated ADMET druggability assessment of representative marine bioactive molecules to evaluate their blood-brain barrier penetration, oral absorption, physicochemical properties and toxicological risks, identifying
