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

backgroundAggregation of the amyloid peptides, Abeta40 and Abeta42, is known to be involved in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we investigate the relationship between peptide aggregation and cell surface binding of three forms of Abeta (Abeta40, Abeta42, and an Abeta mutant).

resultsUsing confocal microscopy and flow cytometry with fluorescently labelled Abeta, we demonstrate a correlation between the aggregation propensity of the Alzheimer amyloid peptides and their neuronal cell surface association. We find that the highly aggregation prone Abeta42 associates with the surface of neuronal cells within one hour, while the less aggregation prone Abeta40 associates over 24 hours. We show that a double mutation in Abeta42 that reduces its aggregation propensity also reduces its association with the cell surface. Furthermore, we find that a cell line that is resistant to Abeta cytotoxicity, the non-neuronal human lymphoma cell line U937, does not bind either Abeta40 or Abeta42.

conclusionTaken together, our findings reveal that amyloid peptide aggregation propensity is an essential determinant of neuronal cell surface association. We anticipate that our approach, involving Abeta imaging in live cells, will be highly useful for evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic drugs that prevent toxic Abeta association with neuronal cells.
