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

Growing evidence suggests an important pathogenetic role of brain-specific gangliosides in the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. Nutritional strategies targeting ganglioside sialylation-for example, through agglutinin-mediated modulation-have therefore attracted increasing research interest. In particular, wheat malt extract (WME), a food-derived source of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) with high affinity for gangliosides, may influence molecular pathways involved in AD pathogenesis. Twelve-month-old female APPswe/PS1E9 transgenic mice, a model of AD, and wild-type (WT) littermates received WME or tap water for three weeks. Behavioral performance was subsequently assessed. Amyloid plaque burden and astrocyte activation were evaluated using Congo red staining and GFAP immunoreactivity, respectively. Gene expression of selected AD markers in the brain was quantified by RT-qPCR. Aged WT mice exhibited robust, region-specific molecular responses to WME, including upregulation of activity-dependent and synaptic plasticity genes (
