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 multifactorial neurodegenerative condition. The search for multi-target traditional Chinese medicines or ingredients for treating AD has attracted much attention. Corydalis rhizome (CR) is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its main components are alkaloids, which have therapeutic effects that can potentially be used for treating AD. However, no systematic study has been conducted to explore the anti-AD efficacy of CR, as well as its active compounds and mechanisms of action. Objective: The present study aimed to clarify CR's active constituents and its pharmacological mechanisms in treating AD. Methods: A D-galactose & scopolamine hydrobromide-induced AD mouse model was used and CR was administered orally. The prototypical alkaloid components were identified in the serum. The core components, key targets, and possible mechanisms of action of these alkaloids were revealed through network pharmacology. Molecular docking of the key target was performed. Finally, the mechanism was validated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of BV2 microglia. Results: The results showed that CR improved anxiety-like behavior, spatial and non-spatial recognition, and memory capacity in AD mice. It also achieved synergistic AD treatment by modulating neurotransmitter levels, anti-neuroinflammation, and anti-oxidative stress. The core components that enhance CR's efficacy in treating AD are protoberberine-type alkaloids. The CR may induce the polarization of LPS-activated BV2 microglia from phenotype M1 to M2. This is partially achieved by modulating the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which could be the mechanism by which CR treats AD through anti-inflammation. Conclusion: The present study provided a theoretical and experimental basis for the clinical application of CR in treating AD. It also provides information that aids the secondary development, and precise clinical use of CR.
