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), a leading cause of dementia worldwide, is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid-beta plaques, tauopathy, neuronal loss, neuro-inflammation, brain atrophy, and cognitive deficits. AD manifests as familial early-onset (FAD) with specific gene mutations or sporadic late-onset (LOAD) caused by various genetic and environmental factors. Numerous transgenic rodent models have been developed to understand AD pathology development and progression. The TgF344-AD rat model is a double transgenic model that carries two human gene mutations: APP with the Swedish mutation and PSEN-1 with delta exon 9 mutations. This model exhibits a complete repertoire of AD pathology in an age-dependent manner. This review summarizes multidisciplinary research insights gained from studying TgF344-AD rats in the context of AD pathology. We explore neuropathological findings; electrophysiological assessments revealing disrupted synaptic transmission, reduced spatial coding, network-level dysfunctions, and altered sleep architecture; behavioral studies highlighting impaired spatial memory; alterations in excitatory-inhibitory systems; and molecular and physiological changes in TgF344-AD rats emphasizing their age-related effects. Additionally, the impact of various interventions studied in the model is compiled, underscoring their role in bridging gaps in understanding AD pathogenesis. The TgF344-AD rat model offers significant potential in identifying biomarkers for early detection and therapeutic interventions, providing a robust platform for advancing translational AD research. Key words Alzheimer's disease, Transgenic AD models, TgF344-AD rats, Spatial coding.
