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

Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, 36-43 amino acids in length, are produced from β- and γ-secretase cleavage of the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP), and are one of the causative agents of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we show that an ELISA can detect total rodent Aβ without interference from physiological concentrations of human Aβ. In cultured dissociated rat cortical neurons and rat and mouse hippocampal organotypic slices, we apply the assay to measure the production of Aβ in response to treatment with hydrogen peroxide, a known stimulator of Aβ secretion, or human Aβ dimer/trimer (Aβd/t), fractionated from the culture medium of 7PA2 cells. Peroxide increases Aβ secretion by about 2 fold, similar to results from previous reports that used a different assay. Of greater significance is that physiologically relevant concentrations (~250 pM) of human Aβd/t increase rodent Aβ secretion from cultured rat cortical neurons by >3 fold over 4 days. Surprisingly, neither treatment with peroxide nor human Aβd/t leads to accumulation of intracellular Aβ. Human Aβd/t increased >2 fold the Aβ secreted by organotypic hippocampal slices from tau knock-out mice whether or not they expressed a human tau transgene, suggesting tau plays no role in enhanced Aβ secretion. Together, these results support an Aβ-mediated feed-forward mechanism in AD progression.
