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

introductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) can be caused by autosomal-dominant familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) mutations in amyloid precursor protein (APP) or presenilin-1 and 2, which form an enzyme substrate complex. KAT5 binds to the APP intracellular domain. Recent reports of decreased  γ-secretase activity in FAD mutants support KAT5 membrane sequestration.

methodsWe compare the hippocampal transcriptome profiles of the Kat5 brain-specific knockout (KO) mouse to multiple AD datasets through alignment with the TREAT-AD AD biological domains. We examine KAT5 subcellular localization in human wild-type and AD neurons.

resultsThe Kat5 KO mouse demonstrates downregulation of synaptic genes, metabolic pathways, and upregulation of DNA replication and repair, cell cycle, and immune response genes. We see similar profiles in Kat5 and comparative AD datasets. KAT5 is restricted to the cytosol in human AD neurons. DISCUSSION: This analysis supports the hypothesis that KAT5 nuclear signaling downstream of APP cleavage plays a pivotal role in neuronal homeostasis.
