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

The synthetic Liver X receptor (LXR) activator T0901317 has been reported to exert neuroprotective effect in Alzheimer's disease, but the relationship between LXR activation and beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE-1) remains uncertain. This study investigated the effect of T0901317 on membrane cholesterol levels, BACE1 expression and activity. We found that T0901317 decreased membrane cholesterol levels, reduced BACE1 expression and activity as well as β-secretase cleaved C-terminal fragment (β-CTF) levels in vivo and in vitro. Meanwhile, the expression of ATP-binding membrane cassette transport protein A1 (ABCA1) enhanced. Additionally, inhibition of ABCA1 abrogated the effects of T0901317 on membrane cholesterol levels and β-secretase activity. Moreover, addition of LXR antagonist reversed the effect of T0901317 on ABCA1 mRNA expression, membrane cholesterol levels and β-secretase activity. Our results suggest that activation of LXR may decrease BACE1 expression and activity through a pathway associated with ABCA1-mediated reduction in membrane cholesterol levels.
