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

Cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (cdk5) is suggested to play a role in tau phosphorylation and contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). One of its activators, p25, is dramatically increased in AD brains where p25 and cdk5 are colocalized with neurofibrillary tangles. Several animal models have shown a correlation of p25/cdk5 activities with tau phosphorylation. Overexpression of p25/cdk5 in nueronal cultures not only leads to tau phosphorylation but also cytoskeletal abnormalities and neurodegeneration. Therefore, cdk5 kinase inhibitors are potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of AD. Availability of potent, selective, brain permeable cdk5 inhibitors and relevant animal models in which their efficacy can be treated will be critical in the development of these inhibitors.
