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

Following years of rapid progress identifying the genetic underpinnings of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related diseases such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), remarkable consistencies have emerged pointing to perturbed biology of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) as a central driver of pathobiology. To varying extents these RNA-binding proteins are deposited in pathological inclusions in affected tissues in ALS and FTD. Moreover, mutations in hnRNPs account for a significant number of familial cases of ALS and FTD. Here we review the normal function and potential pathogenic contribution of TDP-43, FUS, hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2B1, MATR3, and TIA1 to disease. We highlight recent evidence linking the low complexity sequence domains (LCDs) of these hnRNPs to the formation of membraneless organelles and discuss how alterations in the dynamics of these organelles could contribute to disease. In particular, we discuss the various roles of disease-associated hnRNPs in stress granule assembly and disassembly, and examine the emerging hypothesis that disease-causing mutations in these proteins lead to accumulation of persistent stress granules.
