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

Pathological alterations in the microtubule-associated protein (MAP) tau are well-established in a number of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and others. Tau protein and in some cases, neurofilament subunits exhibit abnormal phosphorylation on specific serine and threonine residues in these diseases. A large body of biochemical, genetic, and cell biological evidence implicate two major serine-threonine protein kinases, glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) as major kinases responsible for both normal and pathological phosphorylation of tau protein in vivo. What remains unclear is whether tau phosphorylation and/or neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) formation are causal or secondary to initiation of neuronal pathology. In fact, many studies have indicated that tau misphosphorylation is not the causal event. Interestingly, some of these kinase and phosphatase activities have recently merged as key regulators of fast axonal transport (FAT). Specifically, CDK5 and GSK-3 have been recently shown to regulate kinesin-driven motility. Given the essential role of FAT in neuronal function, an alternate model for pathogenesis can be proposed. In this model, misregulation of FAT induced by an imbalance in specific kinase-phosphatase activities within neurons represents an early and critical step for the initiation of neuronal pathology. Such a model may explain many of the unique characteristics of late onset of neurological diseases such as AD.
