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

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and behavioral deterioration. In recent years, the role of the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway in the pathological process of AD has received increasing attention. This study provides a visual analysis of the current research status, development trends, collaboration networks, and research hotspots related to IGF-1 and AD. Methods: Publications were retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix software were used for visual analysis. Results: A total of 632 publications were included in the study. The annual publications related to IGF-1 and AD exhibited an overall upward trend. Research was concentrated in North America, Asia, and Europe. The United States holds a dominant position in terms of output, influence, and international influence. The Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas was the most active institution. Conclusion: Research on IGF-1 and AD has continued to grow. Studies in this field have formed a tightly interconnected network, centered on the AD pathological core-IGF-1-related molecular mechanisms-downstream signaling pathways. The research focus is shifting from superficial correlations to investigations into underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Depression and cognitive impairment are likely to become promising frontiers for future research.
