Capillary Stalling: A Mechanism of Decreased Cerebral Blood Flow in AD/ADRD.
Article in Journal of experimental neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers.
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.
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) and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) are debilitating conditions that are highly associated with aging populations, especially those with comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. In addition to the classical pathological findings of AD, such as beta-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation, vascular dysfunction is also associated with the progression of the disease. Vascular dysfunction in AD is associated with decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF). Impaired CBF is an early and persistent symptom of AD/ADRD and is thought to be associated with deficient autoregulation and neurovascular coupling. Another recently elucidated mechanism that contributes to cerebral hypoperfusion is capillary stalling, or the temporary arrest of capillary blood flow usually precipitated by a stalled leukocyte or constriction of actin-containing capillary pericytes. Stalled capillaries are associated with decreased CBF and impaired cognitive performance. AD/ADRD are associated with chronic, low-level inflammation, which contributes to capillary stalling by increased cell adhesion molecules, circulating leukocytes, and reactive oxygen species production. Recent research has shed light on potential targets to decrease capillary stalling in AD mice. Separate inhibition of Ly6G and VEGF-A has been shown to decrease capillary stalling and increase CBF in AD mice. These results suggest that targeting stalled capillaries could influence the outcome of AD and potentially be a target for future therapies.
