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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesInhibition of Abelson (Abl) tyrosine kinase as a therapeutic target has been gaining attention in neurodegeneration. Post-mortem Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease brains show that the levels of several other tyrosine kinases, including Discoidin Domain Receptors (DDR1/2) are elevated. Knockdown of these tyrosine kinases with shRNA reduces neurotoxic proteins, including alpha-synuclein, beta-amyloid and tau.

methodsDirect profiling of the pharmacokinetics of multi-kinase inhibitors Nilotinib, Bosutinib, Bafetinib, Radotinib and LCB-03-0110 shows differential levels of brain penetration but the ability of these agents to reduce toxic proteins is independent of brain concentration and selectivity to Abl.

resultsOur results indicate that the effective dose of Nilotinib has the lowest plasma:brain ratio (1%) followed by Bosutinib and Radotinib (5%), Bafetinib (12%) and LCB-03-0110 (12%). However, similar doses of multi-kinase Abl/DDR inhibitor Nilotinib, DDR/Src inhibitor LCB-03-0110 and Abl/Src inhibitor Bosutinib were much more effective than the more selective Abl inhibitors Radotinib and Bafetinib. Taken together, these data suggest that a multi-kinase target that includes Abl and other tyrosine kinases (DDRs, and Src) may offer more advantages alleviating neurodegenerative pathologies than the absolute CNS drug concentration and selectivity to Abl.

conclusionDDRs and Src are other potential co-targets with Abl in neurodegeneration.
