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

Accumulation of the neurotoxic amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Several synthetic Abeta peptides have been used to study the mechanisms of toxicity. Here, we sought to establish comparability between two commonly used Abeta peptides Abeta1-42 and Abeta25-35 on an in vitro model of Abeta toxicity. For this purpose we used organotypic slice cultures of rat hippocampus and observed that both Abeta peptides caused similar toxic effects regarding to propidium iodide uptake and caspase-3 activation. In addition, we also did not observe any effect of both peptides on Akt and PTEN phosphorylation; otherwise the phosphorylation of GSK-3beta was increased. Although further studies are necessary for understanding mechanisms underlying Abeta peptide toxicity, our results provide strong evidence that Abeta1-42 and the Abeta25-35 peptides induce neural injury in a similar pattern and that Abeta25-35 is a convenient tool for the investigation of neurotoxic mechanisms involved in AD.
