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

Compromised autophagy and defective lysosomal clearance significantly contribute to impaired neuronal proteostasis, which represents a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Growing evidence has implicated that modulating autophagic flux, instead of inducing autophagosome formation alone, would be more reliable to rescue neuronal proteostasis. Concurrently, selectively enhancing drug concentrations in the leision areas, instead of the whole brain, will maximize therapeutic efficacy while reduing non-selective autophagy induction. Herein, we design a ROS-responsive targeted micelle system (TT-NM/Rapa) to enhance the delivery efficiency of rapamycin to neurons in AD lesions guided by the fusion peptide TPL, and facilitate its intracellular release via ROS-mediated disassembly of micelles, thereby maximizing autophagic flux modulating efficacy of rapamycin in neurons. Consequently, it promotes the efficient clearance of intracellular neurotoxic proteins, β-amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, and ameliorates memory defects and neuronal damage in 3 × Tg-AD transgenic mice. Our studies demonstrate a promising strategy to restore autophagic flux and improve neuronal proteostasis by rationally-engineered nano-systems for delaying the progression of AD.
