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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease in which beta-amyloid peptide (betaAP) plays a critical role. We report here that the soluble fraction 1-40 of betaAP differentially degrades protein kinase C-alpha and -gamma (PKCalpha and PKCgamma) isoenzymes in normal (age-matched controls, AC) and AD fibroblasts most likely through proteolytic cascades. Treatment with nanomolar concentrations of betaAP(1-40) induced a 75% decrease in PKCalpha, but not PKCgamma, immunoreactivity in AC fibroblasts. In the AD fibroblasts, a 70% reduction of the PKCgamma, but not PKCalpha, immunoreactivity was observed after betaAP treatment. Preincubation of AC or AD fibroblasts with 50 microM lactacystine, a selective proteasome inhibitor, prevented beta-AP(1-40)-mediated degradation of PKCalpha in the AC cells, and PKCgamma in the AD fibroblasts. The effects of betaAP(1-40) on PKCalpha in AC fibroblasts were prevented by inhibition of protein synthesis and reversed by PKC activation. A 3-hr treatment with 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate restored the PKCalpha signal in treated AC cells but it did not reverse the effects of betaAP(1-40) on PKCgamma in the AD fibroblasts. Pretreatment with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide (CHX, 100 microM), inhibited the effects of betaAP(1-40) on PKCalpha and blocked the rescue effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in AC fibroblasts but did not modify PKCgamma immunoreactivity in AD cells. These results suggest that betaAP(1-40) differentially affects PKC regulation in AC and AD cells via proteolytic degradation and that PKC activation exerts a protective role via de novo protein synthesis in normal but not AD cells.
