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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has emerged as a significant risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), a complex and devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. Both conditions share a common feature: blood‒brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, which is believed to play a pivotal role in linking TBI to the development of AD. This review delves into the intricate relationship between TBI and AD, with a focus on BBB dysfunction and its critical role in disease mechanisms and therapeutic development. We first present recent evidence from epidemiological studies highlighting the increased incidence of AD among individuals with a history of TBI, as well as pathological and animal model studies that demonstrate how TBI can accelerate AD-like pathology. Next, we explore the mechanisms by which BBB dysfunction may mediate TBI-induced AD pathology. Finally, we investigate the shared molecular pathways associated with BBB dysfunction in both TBI and AD conditions and discuss the latest findings on how targeting these pathways and employing regenerative approaches, such as stem cell therapy and pharmacological interventions, can enhance BBB function and mitigate neurodegeneration.
