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

Disease-modifying therapies, such as neuroprotective and neurorestorative interventions, are strongly desired for Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment. Several studies have suggested that histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) inhibition can exhibit disease-modifying effects in AD patients. However, whether HDAC2 inhibition shows neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects under neuropathic conditions, such as amyloid β (Aβ)-elevated states, remains poorly understood. Here, we performed HDAC2-specific knockdown in CA1 pyramidal cells and showed that HDAC2 knockdown increased the length of dendrites and the number of mushroom-like spines of CA1 basal dendrites in APP/PS1 transgenic mouse model. Furthermore, HDAC2 knockdown also ameliorated the deficits in hippocampal CA1 long-term potentiation and memory impairment in contextual fear conditioning tests. Taken together, our results support the notion that specific inhibition of HDAC2 has the potential to slow the disease progression of AD through ameliorating Aβ-induced neuronal impairments.
