The past, the present, and the future of preclinical mouse models for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Review in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Over the past decade, the Model Organism Development and Evaluation for Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease (MODEL-AD) consortium has transformed preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) research by addressing critical limitations in traditional mouse models that failed to translate to human disease. By leveraging human genetic discoveries, MODEL-AD has developed > 70 genetically informed mouse models, standardized phenotyping pipelines, and an open-access data infrastructure aligned with late-onset AD biology. These models incorporate human risk variants, environmental factors, and aging to better capture disease complexity, including emerging recognition of mixed pathologies such as vascular contributions, Lewy body disease, and TDP-43 proteinopathy. Despite substantial progress, key challenges remain, including modeling multimorbidity, integrating aging, and improving translational predictability. Here, we outline a strategic roadmap spanning short-, intermediate-, and long-term approaches to refine disease modeling, enhance preclinical testing rigor, and support precision medicine. Continued investment in MODEL-AD will be essential to accelerate therapeutic discovery and establish a scalable framework for studying complex neurodegenerative diseases.
