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

The observation of amyloid-β (Aβ) lesions using autofluorescence in transgenic mice and human Alzheimer disease patients has been reported frequently. However, no reports verify the autofluorescence of spontaneous Aβ amyloidosis in animals, to our knowledge. We validated the autofluorescence of Aβ lesions in spontaneous squirrel monkey cases under label-free conditions; lesions had intense blue-white autofluorescence in fluorescence microscopy using excitation light at 400-440 nm. Thioflavin S staining and immunohistochemistry of the same specimens revealed that this blue-white autofluorescence was derived from Aβ lesions. Hyperspectral analysis of these lesions revealed a characteristic spectrum with bimodal peaks at 440 and 460 nm, as reported for Aβ lesions in mice. Principal component analysis using hyperspectral data specifically separated the Aβ lesions from other autofluorescent substances, such as lipofuscin. A non-labeled and mechanistic detection of Aβ lesions by hyperspectral imaging could provide valuable insights for developing early diagnostic techniques.
