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

Autophagy impairment is commonly implicated in the pathological characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Presenilin 1 (PS1) expression in human brain gradually decreases with age and its mutations account for the most common cases of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). The dominant autophagy phenotypes occur in PS1-knockout and PS1 mutant neurons; it is still unknown whether PS1 deficiency causes serious autophagy impairment in neural stem cells (NSCs). Herein, we generated the heterozygote and homozygote of PS1 knockout in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) via CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing and differentiated them into human NSCs. In these human PS1-deficient NSCs, reduced autophagosome formation and downregulated expression of autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP)-related mRNAs, as well as proteins were observed. Mechanistically, ERK/CREB inhibition and GSK3β activation had key roles in reducing TFEB expression in PS1-knockout NSCs. Pharmacological inhibition of GSK3β upregulated the expression of TFEB and ALP-related proteins in PS1-knockout NSCs, whereas this effect could be blocked by CREB inhibition. These findings demonstrate that PS1 deficiency causes autophagy suppression in human NSCs via downregulating ERK/CREB signaling.
