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 chronic neurodegenerative disorder and the most prevalent cause of dementia, yet it remains incurable. Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 1 (UQCRC1), a pivotal subunit of mitochondrial complex III, has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis, though its precise mechanistic contributions remain undefined. In this study, we systematically investigated the mechanistic involvement of UQCRC1 in AD pathogenesis. Our findings reveal significant downregulation of UQCRC1 expression in hippocampal tissues from both AD patients and APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Conditional UQCRC1 knockdown in AD model mice exacerbated cognitive deficits while transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrated that UQCRC1 deficiency induces pathological lysosomal enlargement, lipofuscin accumulation, and increased neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal neurons. Mechanistic interrogation revealed that UQCRC1 depletion triggers lysosomal Ca
