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

backgroundThe accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides into insoluble plaques is an early pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). BACE1 is the sole β-secretase for Aβ generation, making it an attractive therapeutic target for AD therapy. While BACE1 inhibitors have been shown to reduce Aβ levels in people with AD, clinical trials targeting BACE1 have failed due to unwanted synaptic deficits. Understanding the physiological role of BACE1 in individual cell types is essential for developing effective BACE inhibitors for the treatment of AD. Recent single-cell RNA transcriptomic assays revealed that oligodendrocytes are enriched with genes required for generating Aβ. However, the contribution of oligodendrocytes to amyloid plaque burden in AD and the side effects of oligodendrocyte-specific Bace1 deletion remain to be explored.

methodsWe generated an oligodendrocyte-specific Bace1 knockout model (Bace1

resultsBace1 deletion in oligodendrocytes caused no change in myelin thickness in the corpus callosum but a marginal reduction in myelin sheath thickness of the optic nerve. Synaptic strength measured by LTP was not different between Bace1

conclusionOur results provide compelling evidence that the amyloidogenic pathway in oligodendrocytes contributes to Aβ plaque formation in the AD brain. While specifically targeting BACE1 inhibition in oligodendrocytes for reducing Aβ pathology in AD is likely challenging, this is a potentially explorable strategy in future studies.
