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

Amyloid-β (Aβ)-containing plaques are a major neuropathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The two major isoforms of Aβ peptide associated with AD are Aβ40 and Aβ42, of which the latter is highly prone to aggregation. Increased presence and aggregation of intracellular Aβ42 peptides is an early event in AD progression. Improved understanding of cellular processes affecting Aβ42 aggregation may have implications for development of therapeutic strategies. Aβ42 fused to green fluorescent protein (Aβ42-GFP) was expressed in ∼4600 mutants of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome-wide deletion library to identify proteins and cellular processes affecting intracellular Aβ42 aggregation by assessing the fluorescence of Aβ42-GFP. This screening identified 110 mutants exhibiting intense Aβ42-GFP-associated fluorescence. Four major cellular processes were overrepresented in the data set, including phospholipid homeostasis. Disruption of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and/or phosphatidylethanolamine metabolism had a major effect on intracellular Aβ42 aggregation and localization. Confocal microscopy indicated that Aβ42-GFP localization in the phospholipid mutants was juxtaposed to the nucleus, most likely associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/ER membrane. These data provide a genome-wide indication of cellular processes that affect intracellular Aβ42-GFP aggregation and may have important implications for understanding cellular mechanisms affecting intracellular Aβ42 aggregation and AD disease progression.
