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

Intraneuronal accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ)42 is one of the earliest pathological events in humans and in animal models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Apolipoprotein E 4 (APOE4) is the major identified genetic risk factor for late-onset AD, with Aβ deposition beginning earlier in apoE4-positive subjects. To directly determine the effects of APOE genotype on intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ1-42 at the onset of AD pathogenesis, we introduced lentiviral Aβ1-42 into the cortex of APOE targeted replacement (TR) mice at the age of 8-9 months. We demonstrated a significant isoform-dependent effect of human APOE, with dramatically enhanced intracellular Aβ1-42 deposits in the cerebral cortex of APOE4-TR mice 2 weeks after injection. Double-immunofluorescent staining showed that intracellular accumulation of lentiviral Aβ1-42 was mainly present in neurons, localized to late endosomes/lysosomes. This intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ1-42 correlated with increased tau phosphorylation and cell death in the ipsilateral cortex around the injection site. Aβ1-42 was also observed in microglia, but not in astrocytes. Quantitative analysis revealed more neurons with Aβ1-42 while less microglia with Aβ1-42 nearest to the injection site of Aβ1-42 lentivirus in APOE4-TR mice. Finally, apoE was present in neurons of the ipsilateral cortex of APOE-TR mice at 2 weeks after lentivirus injection, in addition to astrocytes and microglia in both the ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral cortex. Taken together, these results demonstrate that apoE4 tips the balance of the glial and neuronal Aβ toward the intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ.
