Galantamine Inhibits Aβ

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.
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
Despite Alzheimer's disease (AD) being the most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, no FDA-approved disease-modifying treatments have been approved for this condition since 2003. Neuronal-type alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChRs) play an essential role in cognitive functions, binding with extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ plaques) and inhibiting Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. α7nAChRs are impaired early in the course of AD; drugs targeting α7nAChRs are being hotly pursued as a treatment of AD. Encenicline, a partial selective agonist of α7nAChR and modulator of acetylcholine, failed in phase III trials because of gastrointestinal side effects. We, therefore, evaluated the efficacy of galantamine, a positive allosteric modulator at α7nAChRs and an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, that has been used since 2000 as first-line treatment of mild-to-moderate dementia. This study highlights an important new benefit with galantamine. We found that galantamine inhibits Aβ
