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

The microtubule (MT)-associated protein (MAP) tau in neurons has been implicated as a significant factor in the axonal growth, development of neuronal polarity, and the maintenance of MT dynamics. Tau is localized to the axon, and is known to promote MT assembly and to stabilize axonal MTs. These functions of tau are primarily regulated by the activities of protein kinases and phosphatases. In Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, abundant filamentous tau inclusions are found to be major neuropathological characteristics of these diseases. Both somato-dendritic and axonal tau lesions appear to be closely associated with axonal disruption. Furthermore, recent discoveries of pathogenic mutations on the tau gene suggest that abnormalities of tau alone are causative of neurodegeneration. Finally, analyses of transgenic mice that express human tau proteins have enabled in vivo quantitative assessments of axonal functions and have provided information about mechanistic relationships between pathological alteration of tau and axonal degeneration.
