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

Synaptic dysfunction is a key feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we show that synapsin Ⅰ, one of the most important synaptic proteins, is fragmented by the cysteine proteinase asparagine endopeptidase (AEP). AEP cleaves synapsin at N82 in the brains of AD patients and generates the C-terminal synapsin Ⅰ (83-705) fragment. This fragment is abnormally distributed in neurons and induces synaptic dysfunction. Overexpression of AEP in the hippocampus of wild-type mice results in the production of the synapsin Ⅰ (83-705) fragment and induces synaptic dysfunction and cognitive deficits. Moreover, overexpression of the AEP-generated synapsin Ⅰ (83-705) fragment in the hippocampus of tau P301S transgenic mice and wild-type mice promotes synaptic dysfunction and cognitive deficits. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of synaptic dysfunction in AD.
