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

backgroundCerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), linked to adverse effects of emerging AD treatments. We explored the molecular effects of CAA in mouse brain and evaluated how these could be prevented by two repurposed United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatments.

methodsBrain proteomics was performed on the Tg-SwDI genetic mouse model carrying disease causing mutations and developing AD characteristic cognitive deficits and severe CAA. Cortical and hippocampal tissues from presymptomatic male and female mice were studied.

resultsWe identify a core of dysregulated proteins across studies, including established markers of AD as well as proteins indicative of astrogliosis and negative regulators of synaptic stability and function. Two FDA approved, repurposed carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs), acetazolamide and methazolamide, were effective in preventing these molecular adaptations. DISCUSSION: The two drugs broadly prevent proteome adaptations to the detrimental genotype and retain glutamatergic synapse proteins significantly closer to wild-type levels. HIGHLIGHTS: The brain proteome changes of mice with CAA are mapped. Cortical and hippocampal tissues from presymptomatic male and female mice are studied. Markers of AD, astrogliosis, and synaptic stability are dysregulated. Two CAI are effective in preventing these protein changes.
