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 prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by significant impairment in energy metabolism. Our previous studies have demonstrated that moxibustion can ameliorate cognitive dysfunction by enhancing brain energy metabolism in individuals with AD, yet its fundamental mechanism remains incompletely understood. In this study, spatial transcriptomics, biochemical assays, and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to identify differentially expressed genes related to metabolism and their functions, as well as to determine the key metabolic genes influenced by moxibustion. Moxibustion significantly promote spatial learning and memory ability, while reducing the production of hippocampal pathological markers in APP/PS1 mice. Respiratory chain complex I may play an important role in regulating energy metabolism in the hippocampus during moxibustion. Additionally, moxibustion also elevated co-expression of PSD95/SYN, which exhibited a positive correlation with energy metabolism. Thus moxibustion has the potential to improve energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, subsequently ameliorating learning and memory impairments.
