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

objectiveProteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) generates β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides. Prolonged accumulation of Aβ in the brain underlies the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) and is regarded as a principal target for development of disease-modifying therapeutics.

methodsUsing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) APP751SW cells, we identified and characterized effects of 2-([pyridine-2-ylmethyl]-amino)-phenol (2-PMAP) on APP steady-state level and Aβ production. Outcomes of 2-PMAP treatment on Aβ accumulation and associated memory deficit were studied in APPSW /PS1dE9 AD transgenic model mice.

resultsIn CHO APP751SW cells, 2-PMAP lowered the steady-state APP level and inhibited Aβx-40 and Aβx-42 production in a dose-response manner with a minimum effective concentration ≤ 0.5μM. The inhibitory effect of 2-PMAP on translational efficiency of APP mRNA into protein was directly confirmed using a 35S-methionine/cysteine metabolic labeling technique, whereas APP mRNA level remained unaltered. Administration of 2-PMAP to APPSW /PS1dE9 mice reduced brain levels of full-length APP and its C-terminal fragments and lowered levels of soluble Aβx-40 and Aβx-42 . Four-month chronic treatment of APPSW /PS1dE9 mice revealed no observable toxicity and improved animals' memory performance. 2-PMAP treatment also caused significant reduction in brain Aβ deposition determined by both unbiased quantification of Aβ plaque load and biochemical analysis of formic acid-extracted Aβx-40 and Aβx-42 levels and the level of oligomeric Aβ.

interpretationWe demonstrate the potential of modulating APP steady-state expression level as a safe and effective approach for reducing Aβ deposition in AD transgenic model mice.
