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

Pathological, genetic, and biochemical hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are linked to amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregation. Especially misfolded Aβ42 peptide is sufficient to promote amyloid plaque formation. However, the cellular compartment facilitating the conversion of monomeric Aβ to aggregated toxic Aβ species remains unknown. In vitro models suggest lipid membranes to be the driving force of Aβ conversion. To this end, we generated two novel mouse models, expressing either membrane-anchored or nonanchored versions of the human Aβ42 peptide. Strikingly, membrane-anchored Aβ42 robustly accelerated Aβ deposition and exacerbated amyloid-associated toxicity upon crossing with Aβ precursor protein transgenic mice. These in vivo findings support the hypothesis that Aβ-membrane interactions play a pivotal role in early-onset AD as well as neuronal damage and provide evidence to study Aβ-membrane interactions as therapeutic targets.
