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 disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Currently available therapies only provide symptomatic relief. A number of therapeutic approaches are under development that aim to increase the clearance of brain Abeta peptides. These include immune mediated clearance of Abeta and the inhibition of the interaction between Abeta and its pathological chaperones. Both active and passive immunization has been shown to have robust effects in transgenic mouse models of AD on amyloid reduction and behavioral improvements. However, a human trial of active immunization has been associated with significant toxicity in a minority of patients. New generation vaccines are being developed which likely will reduce the potential for cell-mediated toxicity. In addition, the recent development of anti-chaperone therapy opens a new therapeutic avenue which is unlikely to be associated with toxicity.
