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 a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive dysfunction that affects millions of people worldwide, placing a massive burden on families and economies. Exercise training can effectively reduce the prevalence of AD and alleviate its symptoms through the modulation of multiple signaling pathways involved in the pathophysiological process of AD, including the PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β-catenin, AMPK-related, MAPK, NF-κB, PINK1-PARKIN, JAK/STAT, and TREM2 signaling pathways. Different signaling pathways also crosstalk with each other through different targets to inhibit the formation of Amyloid β (Aβ) plaques, reduce the level of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, reduce apoptosis, relieve neuroinflammation, reduce autophagy dysfunction, and ultimately improve cognitive impairment in AD patients. This review summarizes the pathophysiological processes of AD affected by exercise training through different signaling pathways. We further provide a reference for the future development of new effective AD prevention and treatment targets to develop promising personalized, combined intervention strategies.
