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

Tau hyperphosphorylation is thought to play an important role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease by facilitating the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Reducing phosphorylation through kinase inhibition has therefore emerged as a target for drug development, but despite considerable efforts to develop therapeutic kinase inhibitors, success has been limited. An alternative approach is to develop pharmaceuticals to enhance the activity of the principal phospho-tau phosphatase, phosphoprotein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). In this article we review evidence that this mechanism is pharmacologically achievable and has promise for delivering the next generation of Alzheimer's disease therapeutics. A number of different chemotypes have been reported to lead to enhanced PP2A activity through a range of proposed mechanisms. Some of these compounds appear to act directly as allosteric activators of PP2A, while others act indirectly by inhibiting the binding of PP2A inhibitors or by altering post-translational modifications that act in turn to regulate PP2A activity towards phospho-tau. These results indicate that PP2A may provide a useful target that can be safely, selectively and effectively modulated through pharmaceutical intervention to treat Alzheimer's disease.
