Thorase deficiency causes both Aβ accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation in mouse brain.
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 4 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
introductionThe pathogenesis of two major pathogenic characters-amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and hyperphosphorylated tau protein-in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear.
methodsWestern blot and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect the proteins in the brains of Thorase conditional knockout/transgenic mice and their littermates. A co-immunoprecipitation assay was applied to examine the Thorase-interacting proteins.
resultsGenetic deletion of Thorase resulted in tau hyperphosphorylation and promoted Aβ accumulation in the mouse brain. Conversely, Thorase overexpression alleviated the pathogenesis of AD. Thorase regulated the phosphorylation of tau by targeting specific kinases and theprotein phosphatase 2B (PP2B). Thorase deficiency also impaired microglial phagocytosis and induced neuroinflammation by the activation of the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in microglia. DISCUSSION: Thorase may be a potential druggable target for developing therapeutic approaches to treat AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. HIGHLIGHTS: Thorase deletion leads to elevated amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition and hyperphosphorylated tau accumulation in the brain. Thorase regulates the phosphorylation of tau protein via PP2B. Thorase deficiency impairs microglial phagocytosis and promotesNLRP3-mediated neuroinflammation. Overexpression of Thorase alleviates Aβ deposition and tau phosphorylation in the AD mouse model.
