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

Immunotherapy focusing on reducing the amyloid-beta (Aβ) burden is a promising treatment strategy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many clinical studies on AD immunotherapies have failed due to low safety and efficacy, calling for a highly potent AD vaccine which induces sufficient antibody titer while avoiding side effects. Here, we designed a yeast-based vaccine Y-5A15 comprising five copies of Aβ1-15 displayed on the surface of yeast cell wall, and we subcutaneously immunized APP/PS1 mice three times. Our results demonstrated that the Y-5A15 remarkably enhanced the Aβ epitope immunogenicity and elicited high antibody titers against Aβ in AD mice. Importantly, Y-5A15 vaccination successfully reduced Aβ levels, plaque burden and glial activation, rescued synaptic deficits and significantly ameliorated memory and cognitive decline in APP/PS1 transgenic mice, suggesting that the yeast-based Aβ epitope vaccine has a promising potency for the treatment of AD.
