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

Familial Alzheimer disease-causing mutations in Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) are generally thought to shift the processing of APP toward longer, more amyloidogenic Aβ fragments. However, certain PSEN1 mutations cause severe reduction in gamma secretase function when expressed in the homozygous state, thus challenging the amyloid hypothesis. We sought to evaluate the effects of one such mutation, PSEN1 L435F, in more physiologic conditions and genetic contexts by using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from an individual with familial AD (fAD) linked to the PSEN1 L435F mutation, and compared the biochemical phenotype of the iPS-derived neurons with brain tissue obtained at autopsy from the same patient. Our results demonstrate that in the endogenous heterozygous state, the PSEN1 L435F mutation causes a large increase in soluble Aβ43 but does not change the overall levels of soluble Aβ40 or Aβ42 when compared with control iPSC-neurons. Increased pathologically phosphorylated tau species were also observed in PSEN1-mutant iPSC-neurons. Concordant changes in Aβ species were present in autopsy brain tissue from the same patient. Finally, the feasibility of using Aβ43 immunohistochemistry of brain tissue to identify fAD cases was evaluated in a limited autopsy case series with the finding that strong Aβ43 staining occurred only in fAD cases.
