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 studies have identified BIN1 as the second most important risk locus associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). However, it is unclear how mutation of this locus mechanistically promotes Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Here we show the consequences of two coding variants in BIN1 (rs754834233 and rs138047593), both in terms of intracellular beta-amyloid (iAbeta) accumulation and early endosome enlargement, two interrelated early cytopathological AD phenotypes, supporting their association with LOAD risk. We previously found that Bin1 deficiency potentiates iAbeta production by enabling BACE1 cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein in enlarged early endosomes due to decreased BACE1 recycling. Here, we discovered that the expression of the two LOAD mutant forms of Bin1 does not rescue the iAbeta accumulation and early endosome enlargement induced by Bin1 knockdown and recovered by wild-type Bin1. Moreover, the overexpression of Bin1 mutants, but not wild-type Bin1, increased the iAbeta42 fragment by reducing the recycling of BACE1, which accumulated in early endosomes, recapitulating the phenotype of Bin1 knockdown. We showed that the mutations in Bin1 reduced its interaction with BACE1. The endocytic recycling of transferrin was similarly affected, indicating that Bin1 is a general regulator of endocytic recycling. These data demonstrate that the LOAD-coding variants in Bin1 lead to a loss of function in endocytic recycling, which may be an early causal mechanism of LOAD.
