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

Recent FDA approval for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) with amyloid-beta (Aβ) immunotherapy is a historic breakthrough, which has rekindled widespread interest in understanding the molecular basis of Aβ toxicity. In this study, we developed a novel Drosophila model to investigate Aβ42-induced pathologies in vivo and in real time. Strikingly, we unveiled compelling evidence that secreted Aβ42 affects different neurons in distinct ways-both in susceptibility to Aβ42 deposition and in the mode of cell death triggered. Additionally, we observed altered larval crawling behaviour which-remarkably-could be recovered by inhibiting ferroptotic cell death with small molecule inhibitors. Collectively these findings showcase this as a powerful new model for investigating Aβ toxicity in AD and identifying novel treatment strategies.
