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), particularly its sporadic form (SAD, 95 % AD patients), is strongly associated with the apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) genotype and characterized by oxidative stress, iron dysregulation, and increased susceptibility to ferroptosis. Lithium, a well-established neuroprotective agent, has shown potential to mitigate several pathological mechanisms in AD, including ferroptosis. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of lithium chloride in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from a SAD patient with ApoE4/E4 genotype and compared effects with those of isogenic gene-edited ApoE3/E3 control. Lithium treatment significantly improved cell viability in ApoE4/E4 iPSCs. It also reversed key ferroptosis phenotypes, including elevated cytosolic Fe
