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 commonly diagnosed by vast extracellular amyloid deposits and existence of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. In accordance with the literature, age-related loss of sex steroid hormones in either males or females was found in relation to AD subjects. The dynamics of these hormones have been previously described in both physiological and pathological conditions with the evidence of changes in various intracellular signalings regarding the neurodegenerative disease. The potent protective effects of sex steroid hormones and their synthetic analogs are indicative of the decrease in the accumulated levels of intercellular beta-amyloid (Aβ) protein and an increase of specific proteases activity, resulting in the improvement of pathological features. In the current review, we focused on the dynamic of signaling pathway related to sex steroid hormones. It is logical to hypothesize that androgen hormones have regulatory actions on the kinetics of Aβ which make them as a promising preventive approach for neurodegenerative diseases in the near future.
