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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder of still unknown etiology that results in loss of motoneurons, paralysis, and death, usually between 2 and 4 years from onset. There are no currently available ALS biomarkers to support early diagnosis and to facilitate the assessment of the efficacy of new treatments. Since ALS is considered a multisystemic disease, here we have investigated the usefulness of immortalized lymphocytes from sporadic ALS patients to study TDP-43 homeostasis as well as to provide a convenient platform to evaluate TDP-43 phosphorylation as a novel therapeutic approach for ALS. We report here that lymphoblasts from ALS patients recapitulate the hallmarks of TDP-43 processing in affected motoneurons, such as increased phosphorylation, truncation, and mislocalization of TDP-43. Moreover, modulation of TDP-43 by an in-house designed protein casein kinase-1δ (CK-1δ) inhibitor, IGS3.27, reduced phosphorylation of TDP-43, and normalized the nucleo-cytosol translocation of TDP-43 in ALS lymphoblasts. Therefore, we conclude that lymphoblasts, easily accessible cells, from ALS patients could be a useful model to study pathological features of ALS disease and a suitable platform to test the effects of potential disease-modifying drugs even in a personalized manner.
