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

Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) plays an important role responding to monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) via binding to CD31 leading to cerebrovascular damage and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using phosphor-proteomic profiling, we found altered cytoskeleton proteins in the microvasculature of AD brains, including increased levels of hyperphosphorylated tau (pTau) and the actin-related protein, LIMA1. To address the hypothesis that cytoskeletal changes serve as early pathological signatures linked with CD31 in brain endothelia in ApoE4 carriers, ApoE4 knock-in mice intraperitoneal injected with mCRP revealed that mCRP increased the expressions of phosphorylated CD31 (pCD31) and LIMA1, and facilitate the binding of pCD31 to LIMA1. mCRP combined with recombinant APOE4 protein decreased interaction of CD31 and VE-Cadherin at adherens junctions (AJs), along with altered the expression of various actin cytoskeleton proteins, causing microvasculature damage. Notably, the APOE2 protein attenuated these changes. Overall, our study demonstrates that ApoE4 responds to mCRP to disrupt the endothelial AJs which link with the actin cytoskeleton and this pathway could play a key role in the barrier dysfunction leading to AD risk.
