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

Microglia dysfunction-associated neuroinflammation is an important driver of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we show that demyelination promotes neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment via the lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS)-GPR34 axis in AD. Demyelination is observed at the early stage and is accompanied by an increase in LysoPS in myelin debris in a 5xFAD mouse model of AD. Reducing the content of LysoPS in myelin or inhibiting its receptor GPR34 via genetic or pharmacological approaches can reduce microglial dysfunction and neuroinflammation and improve microglial Aβ phagocytosis, subsequently resulting in less Aβ deposition and memory restoration in 5xFAD mice. Furthermore, increased LysoPS production and microglial GPR34 expression were also observed in the brains of AD patients. These results reveal the pathogenic role of demyelination-derived LysoPS in microglial dysfunction and AD pathology and suggest that blocking GPR34 as a therapeutic strategy beyond targeting Aβ.
