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

Immunization with synthetic, preaggregated β-amyloid (Aβ) was the first treatment approach able to dramatically reduce brain Aβ pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) animal models. For the development of a safe vaccine, we investigated whether 4Aβ1-15 (four tandem repeats of GPGPG-linked Aβ1-15 sequences) had therapeutic effects in the APP/PS1 transgenic mice model of AD. We described the production of anti-Aβ antibodies in APP/PS1 mice immunized with 4Aβ1-15 mixed with MF59 adjuvant. The anti-Aβ antibody concentrations were increased which bound to AD plaques, markedly reduced Aβ pathology in transgenic AD mice and levels of intracerebral Aβ (soluble and insoluble), whereas increased serum Aβ levels. Immunization via 4Aβ1-15 (mainly of the IgG1 Class) may induce a non-inflammatory Th2 reaction. Immunohistochemistry analysis of MHC Class II and CD45 revealed that microglial cells were in a less activated state. Of note, 4Aβ1-15-immunized mice showed improved acquisition of memory compared with controls in a reference-memory Morris water-maze behavior test. The data identify the novel immunogen 4Aβ1-15 as a promising new tool for AD immunotherapy.
