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

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease characterized by tau hyperphosphorylation, Aβ1-42 aggregation and cognitive dysfunction. Therapeutic agents directed at mitigating tau aggregation and clearing Aβ1-42, and delivery of growth factor genes (BDNF, FGF2), have ameliorated cognitive deficits, but these approaches did not prevent or stop AD progression. Here we report that viral-(AAV) delivery of Neurotrophic Factor-α1/Carboxypeptidase E (NF-α1/CPE) gene in hippocampus at an early age prevented later development of cognitive deficits as assessed by Morris water maze and novel object recognition assays, neurodegeneration, and tau hyperphosphorylation in male 3xTg-AD mice. Additionally, amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression was reduced to near non-AD levels, and insoluble Aβ1-42 was reduced significantly. Pro-survival proteins: mitochondrial Bcl2 and Serpina3g were increased; and mitophagy inhibitor Plin4 and pro-inflammatory protein Card14 were decreased in AAV-NF-α1/CPE treated versus untreated AD mice. Thus NF-α1/CPE gene therapy targets many regulatory components to prevent cognitive deficits in 3xTg-AD mice and has implications as a new therapy to prevent AD progression by promoting cell survival, inhibiting APP overexpression and tau hyperphosphorylation.
