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

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with progressive impairment of cognitive function. The primary pathological features of AD include aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylation of the tau protein. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This study aimed to investigate the potential neuroprotective effects of HDAC6 and HDAC10 inhibition in a rodent model of AD. Methods: Learning and memory deficits were induced by bilateral intra-hippocampal Aβ injections in male Wistar rats. Tubacin (HDAC6 inhibitor) and bufexamac (HDAC6 and 10 inhibitors) were microinjected 30 minutes after Aβ injection. The possible molecular changes in the hippocampus following Aβ injection were also assessed by western blotting analysis of pCREB/CREB and Pp70/P70 ratios. Results: Our results revealed that bufexamac significantly recovered learning and memory impairments induced by Aβ in the Morris water maze (MWM) task. Tubacin improved memory decline without affecting learning. Bilateral intra-hippocampal injection of each of the HDAC inhibitors significantly increased the pCREB/CREB and Pp70/p70 ratios compared to the Aβ group, which was concurrent with behavioral alterations. Conclusion: HDAC IIb treatment may be a promising strategy for improving learning and memory impairments in an animal model of AD, suggesting that HDAC targeting is a valuable strategy for further investigation.
