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 characterized by progressive loss of cognitive function. Its main pathological features include accumulation of Amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, excessive phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein tau (tau protein), and neuroinflammation. In recent years, studies have confirmed intestinal flora is closely connected to AD. Gut-brain axis has an important part in AD. Intestinal flora can achieve signal communication between gut and brain through metabolic, immune, neural, and endocrine pathways, thereby slowing down AD. It has been discovered that exercise is not only beneficial to physical health but also has a positive impact on the brain function. In recent years, more and more studies have found exercise can alleviate AD through the following four major pathways: regulating the diversity of intestinal flora, strengthening the blood-brain barrier (BBB), regulating immune homeostasis, and upregulating the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In this review, we have summarized intestinal flora in AD and systematically expounded potential regulatory pathways of exercise in modulating intestinal flora for AD. This provides a more theoretical basis for subsequent research targeting "gut-brain axis" to regulate AD. At the same time, this review also summarizes differences in different exercise types on improving intestinal flora for alleviating AD, providing new ideas and strategies for AD.
