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

Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia worldwide. Therapies are desperately needed to prevent and cure the disease. Mouse models of amyloid-beta deposition [APP and PSAPP transgenic (tg) mice] have been useful in determining the role of amyloid-beta (A beta) in both the pathogenesis and cognitive changes in AD. In addition, they have allowed scientists to investigate potential AD therapies in living animals. Active and passive A beta immunizations have been employed successfully in APP and PSAPP tg mice to lower cerebral A beta levels and improve cognition. Optimization of immunization protocols and characterization of immune responses in wildtype mice have been reported. Based on the promising results of A beta immunization studies in mice, a clinical trial was initiated for A beta vaccination in humans with AD. Although no adverse effects were reported in the Phase I safety trials, about 5% of AD patients in the phase II clinical trial developed meningoencephalitis, ending the trial prematurely in March 2002. Studies in AD mouse models and wildtype mice may help elucidate the mechanism for these unwanted side effects and will be useful for testing newer, safer vaccines for future use in human clinical trials.
