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

Alzheimer disease and related dementia are characterized by the presence of hyperphosphorylated tau aggregated into filaments. The role of tau phosphorylation in the fibrillogenesis has not yet been unraveled. Therefore, it is important to know which phosphatases can dephosphorylate tau protein in vivo. The effect of recombinant purified calcineurin (CN(PP2B)) and several calcineurin mutants on tau phosphorylation was studied in two neuronal like cell lines PC12 and SH-SY5Y. The modulation of tau phosphorylation at Serl99/Ser202, Ser396/Ser404, Ser262/Ser356, and Thr181 sites was examined in these cell lines using the phosphorylation state-dependent antitau antibodies Tau 1, PHF1, 12E8, and AT270. The results have shown that CN directly dephosphorylates all of those sites of tau protein. Recombinant calcineurin introduced into cells that have previously been treated with okadaic acid and cyclosporin A, which are inhibitors of phosphatases (PP1/PP2A and PP2B), has a direct effect on the phosphorylation status on all phosphorylation sites studied. We conclude that calcineurin is (besides PP2A) a important modulator of tau phosphorylation in vivo.
