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

backgroundAccumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau is a major neuropathological feature of tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Serum amyloid A (SAA), an acute-phase protein with cytokine-like property, has been implicated in amyloid deposition. It remains unclear whether SAA affects tau hyperphosphorylation.

methodsPotential involvement of SAA in tau hyperphosphorylation was examined using intracerebral injection of SAA, and in Saa3 (-/-) mice receiving systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Induced SAA expression and microglial activation were evaluated in these mice using real-time PCR and/or immunofluorescence staining. Cultured primary neuronal cells were treated with condition media (CM) from SAA-stimulated primary microglial cells. The alteration in tau hyperphosphorylation was determined using Western blotting.

resultsSaa3 is the predominant form of SAA proteins induced by LPS in the mouse brain that co-localizes with neurons. Overexpression of SAA by intracerebral injection attenuated tau hyperphosphorylation in the brain. Conversely, Saa3 deficiency enhanced tau phosphorylation induced by systemic LPS administration. Intracerebral injection of SAA also induced the activation of microglia in the brains. IL-10 released to CM from SAA-stimulated microglia attenuated tau hyperphosphorylation in cultured primary neurons. IL-10 neutralizing antibody reversed the effect of SAA in the attenuation of tau phosphorylation.

conclusionsLPS-induced expression of SAA proteins in the brain leads to the activation of microglia and release of IL-10, which in turn suppresses tau hyperphosphorylation in a mouse model of systemic inflammation.
