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 the most common cause of dementia, emphasizing the critical need for the development of biomarkers that facilitate accurate and objective assessment of disease progression for early detection and intervention to delay its onset. In our study, three AD datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were integrated for differential expression analysis, followed by a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and potential AD biomarkers were screened. Our study identified UBE2N as a promising biomarker for AD. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that UBE2N is associated with synaptic vesicle cycling and T cell/B cell receptor signaling pathways. Notably, UBE2N expression levels were found to be significantly reduced in the cortex and hippocampus of the Tau
