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

Tau is certainly a reasonable target for the development of compounds to prevent neurofibrillary pathology, particularly in the fronto-temporal dementias. Although the mechanism of the filamentous accumulations remains unclear, sufficient knowledge is in place to move forward with high throughput screens. In fact, the development of compounds from such screens will ultimately be the only way to validate the target. The dichotomy for such screens is that in vitro screens are easier to design, but require more assumptions as to the mechanism, in contrast to cell-based screens that are more difficult to design, but make fewer assumptions about mechanism. We have designed a moderate throughput for tau binding that relies on fluorescence detection in living cells and an in vitro cdk5/p25 tau phosphorylation high throughput screen.
