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

1. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is pathologically defined by the deposition of amyloid peptide and neurofibrillary tangles and is characterized by a progressive loss of cognition and memory function, due to marked cortical cholinergic depletion. 2. Cholinergic cortical innervation is provided by basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. The neurotrophin Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) promotes survival and differentiation of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. 3. This assertion has been at the basis of the hypothesis developed in the last 20 years, whereby NGF deprivation would be one of the factor involved in the etiology of sporadic forms of AD. 4. In this review, we shall summarize data that lead to the production and characterization of a mouse model for AD (AD11 anti-NGF mice), based on the expression of transgenic antibodies neutralizing NGF. The AD-like phenotype of AD11 mice will be discussed on the basis of recent studies that have posed NGF and its precursor pro-NGF back to the stage of AD-like neurodegeneration, showing the involvement of the precursor pro-NGF in one of the cascades leading to AD neurodegeneration.
