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

Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein by alpha-secretase prevents formation of the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), which is the main constituent of amyloid plaques in brains of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients. alpha-Secretase activity is decreased in AD, and overexpression of the alpha-secretase ADAM10 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10) in an AD animal model prevents amyloid pathology. ADAM10 has a 444-nucleotide-long, very GC-rich 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) with two upstream open reading frames. Because similar properties of 5'-UTRs are found in transcripts of many genes, which are regulated by translational control mechanisms, we asked whether ADAM10 expression is translationally controlled by its 5'-UTR. We demonstrate that the 5'-UTR of ADAM10 represses the rate of ADAM10 translation. In the absence of the 5'-UTR, we observed a significant increase of ADAM10 protein levels in HEK293 cells, whereas mRNA levels were not changed. Moreover, the 5'-UTR of ADAM10 inhibits translation of a luciferase reporter in an in vitro transcription/translation assay. Successive deletion of the first half of the ADAM10 5'-UTR revealed a striking increase in ADAM10 protein expression in HEK293 cells, suggesting that this part of the 5'-UTR contains inhibitory elements for translation. Moreover, we detect an enhanced alpha-secretase activity and consequently reduced Abeta levels in the conditioned medium of HEK293 cells expressing both amyloid precursor protein and a 5'-UTR-ADAM10 deletion construct lacking the first half of the 5'-UTR. Thus, we provide evidence that the 5'-UTR of ADAM10 may have an important role for post-transcriptional regulation of ADAM10 expression and consequently Abeta production.
