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

Introduction: Our aim is to reduce the side effects and increase the efficiency of donepezil by formulating donepezil-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles (NPs) directly targeting amyloid beta (Aβ) fibrils in the brain and evaluate behavioral changes in this fibril model of AD. Methods: AD model was developed by intracerebroventricular injection of pre-aggregated β25-35 fibrils. Rats were intravenously administered either solvent, donepezil-loaded NPs (15µg/kg) or free donepezil (1mg/kg) 3 times for a week except for naïve controls. The effect of treatments on anxiety, motor functions, and cognitive functions was tested by elevated plus maze, locomotor activity, novel object recognition, and Morris's water maze tests, respectively. Results: Accumulation of Aβ25-35 fibrils in brain sections was confirmed. Anxiety-like behavior was observed in the Aβ Alzheimer and free donepezil treatment groups while donepezil-loaded NP treatment showed hypo-anxiety-like behavior. Donepezil-loaded NPs were successful in treatment of short-term memory deficit better than free donepezil injection. In Morris's water maze, both donepezil-loaded NPs and free donepezil groups found the platform in shorter time compared to Aβ Alzheimer group. In locomotor activity test, both donepezil treated groups moved less than the Aβ Alzheimer group and naïve controls. After the pharmacological experiments, acetylcholinesterase activity was determined and showed an increase in Aβ Alzheimer group compared to controls. Donepezil-loaded NPs inhibited the acetylcholinesterase activity more efficiently than the free donepezil group. Conclusion: Targeting with donepezil-loaded PLGA-b-PEG-NPs increases efficiency, helps to inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity more substantially, improves cognitive decline due to its longer duration of action and destabilizing effect on amyloid fibrils.
