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

Microtubule-based axonal transport is tightly regulated by numerous pathways, ensuring appropriate delivery of specific organelle cargoes to selected subcellular domains. Highlighting the importance of this process, pathological evidence has linked alterations in these pathways to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. An important regulator of this system, the microtubule-associated protein Tau, has been shown to participate in signaling cascades, modulate microtubule dynamics, and preferentially inhibit kinesin-1 motility. However, the cellular means of regulating Tau's inhibition of kinesin-1 motility remains unknown. Tau is subject to various posttranslational modifications, including phosphorylation, but whether phosphorylation regulates Tau on the microtubule surface has not been addressed. It has been shown that tyrosine 18 phosphorylated Tau regulates inhibition of axonal transport in the disease state. Tyrosine 18 is both a disease- and nondisease-state modification and is therefore an attractive starting point for understanding control of Tau's inhibition of kinesin-1 motility. We show that pseudophosphorylation of tyrosine 18 reduces 3RS-Tau's inhibition of kinesin-1 motility. In addition, we show that introduction of negative charge at tyrosine 18 shifts Tau's previously described static-dynamic state binding equilibrium toward the dynamic state. We also present the first evidence of Tau's static-dynamic state equilibrium under physiological conditions.
