Review in Cellular and molecular neurobiology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

1. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic dementia and neurodegenerative disorder affecting the oldest portions of the population. Brains of AD patients accumulate large amount of the A beta P peptide in amyloid plaques. 2. The A beta P[1-40] peptide is derived by proteolytic processing from a much larger amyloid precursor protein (APP), and has been circumstantially identified as the toxic principle causing cell damage in the disease. 4. The A beta P[1-40] peptide is able to form quite characteristic calcium channels in planar lipid bilayers. These channels have conductances in the nS range, and can dissipate ion gradients quickly. The peptide can also cause equivalent cation conductances in cells. 5. We suggest that amyloid channel blocking agents might be therapeutically useful in Alzheimer's Disease, and have constructed molecular models of the channels to aid in the design of such compounds.
