Air pollution amyloidogenesis is attenuated by the gamma-secretase modulator GSM-15606.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionChronic air pollution (AirPoll) is associated with accelerated cognitive decline and risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Correspondingly, wild-type and AD-transgenic rodents exposed to AirPoll have increased amyloid peptides and behavioral impairments.
methodsWe examined the γ-secretase modulator GSM-15606 for potential AirPoll protection by its attenuating of amyloid beta (Aβ)42 peptide production. Male and female wild-type mice were fed GSM-15606 during an 8-week inhalation exposure to AirPoll subfractions, ambient nanoparticulate matter (nPM), and diesel exhaust particles (DEP).
resultsGSM-15606 decreased Aβ42 during nPM and DEP exposure without changing beta- or gamma-secretase activity or BACE1 and PS1 protein levels. DEP increased lateral ventricle volume by 25%. DISCUSSION: These enzyme responses are relevant to AD drug treatments, as well as to the physiological functions of the Aβ42 peptide. GSM-15606 attenuation of Aβ42 may benefit human exposure to AirPoll. HIGHLIGHTS: Gamma-secretase modulator (GSM-15606) attenuates the amyloidogenic amyloid beta (Aβ)42 peptide during exposure to air pollution, which may be a mechanism by which air pollution increases Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. AD drug treatments may also consider Aβ homeostasis among the chronic effects of GSM-15606 and other amyloid reduction treatments on secretase enzymes.
