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

We have recently reported Catalytides (Catalytic peptides) JAL-TA9 (YKGSGFRMI) and ANA-TA9 (SKGQAYRMI), which are the first Catalytides found to cleave Aβ42. Although the Catalytides must be delivered to the brain parenchyma to treat Alzheimer's disease, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits their entry into the brain from the systemic circulation. To avoid the BBB, the direct route from the nasal cavity to the brain was used in this study. The animal studies using rats and mice clarified that the plasma clearance of ANA-TA9 was more rapid than in vitro degradation in the plasma, whole blood, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The brain concentrations of ANA-TA9 were higher after nasal administration than those after intraperitoneal administration, despite a much lower plasma concentration after nasal administration, suggesting the direct delivery of ANA-TA9 to the brain from the nasal cavity. Similar findings were observed for its transport to CSF after nasal and intravenous administration. The concentration of ANA-TA9 in the olfactory bulb reached the peak at 5 min, whereas those in the frontal and occipital brains was 30 min, suggesting the sequential backward translocation of ANA-TA9 in the brain. In conclusion, ANA-TA9 was efficiently delivered to the brain by nasal application, as compared to other routes.
