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

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy occurs after stroke, but the mechanism underlying the initial amyloid-β deposition is not fully understood. This study investigates whether overexpression of fibronectin and its receptor, integrin-α5, induces the perivascular deposition of cerebrospinal fluid-derived amyloid-β after stroke in young and aged animals. We found that stroke impaired the bulk flow of cerebrospinal fluid into the brain parenchyma and further showed that perivascular amyloid-β deposition was enhanced in aged animals with stroke, which colocalized with integrin-α5 in the basement membrane. Furthermore, we found that stroke dramatically increased the cortical levels of fibronectin and integrin-α5, with further increases in integrin-α5 in aged animals with stroke, fibronectin bound amyloid-β in vitro, and fibronectin administration increased amyloid-β deposition in vivo. Finally, aging and stroke impaired performance on the Barnes maze. These results indicate that fibronectin induces the perivascular deposition of amyloid-β and that increased integrin-α5 further "primes" the aged brain for amyloid-β binding. This provides a novel molecular and physiological mechanism for perivascular amyloid-β deposition after stroke, particularly in aged individuals.
