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

Most of early-onset forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are caused by inherited mutations located on chromosomes 14 and 1, the gene products of which have been recently identified and referred to as presenilins 1 (PS1) and 2 (PS2), respectively. The first phenotypic alterations triggered by mutated PS were reported to be an increased production of the amyloid peptide (Abeta) and, more precisely, its 42 amino-acids long counterpart Abeta42. This overproduction is thought to be responsible for the genesis of the senile plaques that invade the cortical and subcortical areas of these AD-affected brains. The discovery of PSs has triggered numerous studies aimed at better understanding their normal physiology and the dysfunctions brought by the mutations that could explain, at least in part, the neurodegenerative process taking place in this syndrome. In this review, I will focus on the structural aspects of PS and on the various posttranscriptional events they undergo. I will also briefly discuss that current hypotheses concerning their normal functions and the influence of FAD-linked mutations.
