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

Brains of Alzheimer disease patients in early stages of dementia contain an increased 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol (cerebrosterol)/cholesterol ratio when compared to controls. In this study, effects of amyloid beta peptides and of racemic 24-hydroxycholesterol were evaluated in vitro on undepleted or cholesterol-depleted hippocampal synaptosomes of young and old rats via a high-affinity choline transport and membrane anisotropy measurements. Depletion of membrane cholesterol decreased the transport of [3H]choline, increased the specific binding of [3H]hemicholinium-3 and decreased membrane anisotropy. However, less alterations were found in old when compared to young brains. 500 nM nonaggregated peptides were ineffective but aggregated fragment 1-42 evoked marked drops in the transport and anisotropy values on depleted synaptosomes. 50 microM 24-hydroxycholesterol inhibited choline transport on depleted synaptosomes but it did not influence membrane anisotropy. Peptides eliminated the actions of oxysterol on choline carriers in young but not in old rats. On the other hand, oxysterol eliminated the effects of peptides on membrane anisotropy. Our study suggests a possible role of membrane cholesterol in the regulation of choline carriers and supports data reporting a protective role of membrane cholesterol against toxic effects of amyloid beta peptides. Moreover, via Raman spectroscopy we demonstrate for the first time that peptides form a complex with 24-hydroxycholesterol.
