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 amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as proteolytical cleavage of APP gives rise to the β-amyloid peptide which is deposited in the brains of Alzheimer patients. During the past years, intense research efforts have been directed at elucidating the physiological function(s) of APP and the question of whether a perturbation of these functions contributes to AD pathogenesis. Indeed, a growing body of evidence has accumulated supporting a role of APP and the two closely related homologues APLP1 and APLP2 in various aspects of nervous system development and function, in particular, for synapse formation and function. This review summarizes recent insights into the in vivo role of the APP gene family from mice lacking individual or combinations of APP family members, with particular emphasis on recently generated knockin mice to examine the in vivo relevance of distinct functional domains.
