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

Production, aggregation, and clearance of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ) are important processes governing the initial pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of β-site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme (BACE1) (one of two key proteases responsible for Aβ production) as an AD-therapeutic approach so far has failed to yield a successful drug. BACE1 and its homologue BACE2 are frequently inhibited by the same inhibitors. Several genetic and cerebral organoid modeling studies suggest that BACE2 has dose-dependent AD-suppressing activity, which makes its unwanted inhibition potentially counterproductive for AD treatment. The in vivo effects of an unwanted cross inhibition of BACE2 have so far been impossible to monitor because of the lack of an easily accessible pharmacodynamic marker specific for BACE2 cleavage. In this issue of the JCI, work led by Stefan F. Lichtenthaler identifies soluble VEGFR3 (sVEGFR3) as a pharmacodynamic plasma marker for BACE2 activity not shared with BACE1.
