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

Among the different initiating events in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are some of the most iimportant. In the central nervous system, the 12/15Lipoxygenase (12/15LO) enzyme is the source of potent pro-oxidants and inflammatory lipid mediators. Previous works showed that this pathway is up-regulated in AD brains and that its pharmacological targeting modulates the phenotype of transgenic mouse models of the disease. Here we investigate the effect of brain 12/15LO gene delivery on the AD-like phenotype of a mouse model with plaques, tangles and behavioral deficits, the 3xTg mice. Compared with controls, mice over-expressing 12/15LO manifested an exacerbation of spatial learning and memory impairments, which was associated with significant increase in Aβ formation and deposition, and accumulation of hyper-phosphorylated insoluble tau secondary to a down-regulation of autophagy. In addition, the same mice manifested a worsening of neuroinflammation and synaptic pathology. Taken together our study supports the hypothesis that the 12/15LO enzymatic pathway by impairing neuronal autophagy plays a functional role in exacerbating AD-related neuropathologies and cognitive impairments. It provides further critical preclinical evidence to justify developing and testing new and selective 12/15LO inhibitors for AD treatment.
