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

introductionCurrent therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) focuses on delaying progression, illustrating the need for more effective therapeutic targets. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) modulates tubulin acetylation and has been implicated as an attractive target. HDAC6 is also elevated in postmortem tissue samples from patients. However, HDAC6 inhibitors have had limited success preclinically due to low blood-brain barrier penetration.

methodWe investigated a specific, potent HDAC6 inhibitor (ACY-738) in a mouse model of AD. We determined the effects of ACY-738 treatment on axonal transport, behavior, and pathology in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 mice.

resultsWe demonstrated improvements in in vivo axonal transport in two treatment groups as a result of ACY-738 brain levels. We also demonstrated recovery of short-term learning and memory deficits, hyperactivity, and modifications of tau and tubulin. DISCUSSION: Our findings implicate specific, targeted HDAC6 inhibitors as potential therapeutics and demonstrate that further investigations are warranted into effects of HDAC6 inhibitors in AD.
