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

Davunetide (NAP) is a leading drug candidate being tested against tauopathy. Davunetide is an eight-amino-acid peptide fragment derived by structure-activity studies from activity-dependent neuroprotective protein, activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP). ADNP is essential for brain formation. ADNP haploinsufficiency in mice results in tauopathy and cognitive deficits ameliorated by davunetide treatment. This article summarizes in brief recent reviews about NAP protection against tauopathy including the all D-amino acid analogue-D-NAP (AL-408). D-NAP was discovered to have similar neuroprotective functions to NAP in vitro. Here, D-NAP was tested as prophylactic as well as therapeutic treatment for amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in the widely used TgN(SOD1-G93A)1Gur transgenic mouse model. Results showed D-NAP-associated prophylactic protection, thus daily treatment starting from day 2 of age resulted in a prolonged life course in the D-NAP-treated mice, which was coupled to a significant decrease in tau hyperphosphorylation. These studies correlate protection against tau hyperphosphorylation and longevity in a severe model of ALS-like motor impairment and early mortality. NAP is a first-in-class drug candidate/investigation compound providing neuroprotection coupled to inhibition of tau pathology. D-NAP (AL-408) is a pipeline product.
