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

backgroundSoluble amyloid-β oligomer (AβO) induced deleterious cascades have recently been considered to be the initiating pathologic agents of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, little is known about the neurotoxicity and production of different AβOs. Understanding the production and spread of toxic AβOs within the brain is important to improving understanding of AD pathogenesis and treatment.

methodsHere, PS1V97L transgenic mice, a useful tool for studying the role of AβOs in AD, were used to identify the specific AβO assembly that contributes to neuronal injury and cognitive deficits. Then, we investigated the production and spread of toxic Aβ assemblies in astrocyte and neuron cultures, and further tested the results following intracerebroventricular injection of AβOs in animal model.

findingsThe results showed that cognitive deficits were mainly caused by the accumulation of nonameric and dodecameric Aβ assemblies in the brains. In addition, we found that the toxic AβOs were duplicated in a time-dependent manner when BACE1 and apolipoprotein E were overexpressed, which were responsible for producing redundant Aβ and forming nonameric and dodecameric assemblies in astrocytes, but not in neurons.

interpretationOur results suggest that astrocytes may play a central role in the progression of AD by duplicating and spreading toxic AβOs, thus triggering neuronal injury.
