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

Genetic, clinical, biochemical and histochemical data indicate a crucial involvement of inflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but harnessing the immune system to cure or prevent AD has so far proven difficult. Clarifying the cellular heterogeneity and signaling pathways associated with the presence of the AD hallmarks beta-amyloid and tau in the brain, would help to identify potential targets for therapy. While much attention has been so far devoted to microglia and their homeostatic phagocytic activity, additional cell types and immune functions might be affected in AD. Beyond microglia localized in the brain parenchyma, additional antigen-presenting cell (APC) types might be affected by beta-amyloid toxicity. Here, we investigated potential immunomodulatory properties of oligomeric species of beta-amyloid-peptide (Aβ) on microglia and putative APCs. We performed a comprehensive characterization of time- and pathology-dependent APC and T-cell alterations in a model of AD-like brain beta-amyloidosis, the APP-PS1-dE9 mouse model. We show that the deposition of first beta-amyloid plaques is accompanied by a significant reduction in MHC class II surface levels on brain APCs. Furthermore, taking advantage of customized
