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

Mutations in the presenilins cause Alzheimer's disease (AD) and alter gamma-secretase activity to increase the production of the 42-residue amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) found disproportionally in the cerebral plaques that characterize the disease. The serpentine presenilins are required for transmembrane cleavage of both the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) and the Notch receptor by y-secretase, and presenilins are biochemically associated with the protease. Inhibitors of gamma-secretase have provided critical clues to the function of presenilins. Pharmacological profiling suggested that gamma-secretase is an aspartyl protease, leading to the identification of two conserved aspartates important to presenilin's role in proteolysis. Conversion of transition-state analogue inhibitors of gamma-secretase to affinity reagents resulted in specific tagging of the heterodimeric form of presenilins, strongly suggesting that the active site of gamma-secretase lies at the interface of the presenilin heterodimer. Heterodimeric presenilin appears to be the catalytic portion of a multi-protein gamma-secretase complex.
