Kynurenine pathway: a possible new mechanism for exercise in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Review in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 the most common neurodegenerative disease in clinical practice. The kynurenine pathway (KP) is a potential intersection of factors associated with the development of AD (central nervous inflammation, glutamate excitotoxicity, and tau phosphorylation, among others). Pharmacological modulators targeting KP enzymes, such as inhibitors or agonists, and their major neuroprotective metabolites are beneficial in alleviating AD progression. Exercise significantly improves AD symptoms and also impacts KP pharmacokinetics. Promoting the production of neuroprotective active metabolites by KP may be one of the central mechanisms by which exercise improves AD symptoms. This article reviews the possible role of KP in AD neurodegeneration and AD exercise prevention and treatment.
