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

Deficit in retromer complex function secondary to lower levels of one of its major components, the vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35), has been reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. VPS35 genetic reduction results in increased Aβ levels and synaptic pathology in mouse models of the disease. However, whether restoration of its levels has an effect on the AD-like phenotype which includes Aβ plaques, tau tangles and memory impairments remain unknown. In this paper, we investigated the effect of VPS35 gene delivery into the central nervous system on the development of the neuropathology and behavioral deficits of the triple transgenic (3xTg) mice. Compared with controls, animals overexpressing VPS35 had an amelioration of spatial learning and working memory, which associated with a significant reduction in Aβ levels and deposition and tau phosphorylation. Additionally, the same animals had a significant improvement of synaptic pathology and neuroinflammation. In vitro study confirmed that VPS35 up-regulation by reducing total levels of APP and results in a significant decrease in its metabolic products. Our results demonstrate for the first time that VPS35 is directly involved in the development of AD-like phenotype, and for this reason should be considered as a novel therapeutic target for AD.
