Crocin Ameliorates Cognitive Impairment and Pathological Changes in Alzheimer's Disease Model Mice by Regulating Gut Microbiota.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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), a primary cause of dementia, places a significant strain on both patients and society due to the absence of effective treatments. Recent research suggests that the gut microbiota may play a role in the development of AD. Crocin, a compound derived from traditional medicine, has demonstrated potential in alleviating neurological disorders and influencing gut microbiota, yet its specific mechanisms in AD remain unclear. In this study, we administered Crocin or saline to 5xFAD mice and wild-type controls. We discovered that Crocin treatment led to notable improvements in cognitive function, as measured by the Morris water maze test, reduced beta-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation, and decreased neuroinflammation, as indicated by reduced microglial and astrocyte activation. Metagenomic sequencing revealed a significant increase in the gut microbiota diversity, specifically the abundance of
