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

backgroundThe microtubule-associated tau protein is the defining denominator of a group of neurodegenerative diseases termed tauopathies.

objectiveProvide a timely state of the art review on recent scientific advances in the field of tauopathies. MATERIAL AND

methodsSystematic review of the literature from the past 10 years.

resultsTau proteins are increasingly being recognized as a highly variable protein, underlying and defining a spectrum of molecularly defined diseases, with a clinical spectrum ranging from dementia to hypokinetic movement disorders. Genetic variation at the tau locus can trigger disease or modify disease risk. Tau protein alterations can damage nerve cells and propagate pathologies through the brain. Thus, tau proteins may serve both as a serological and imaging biomarker. Tau proteins also provide a broad spectrum of rational therapeutic interventions to prevent disease progression. This knowledge has led to modern clinical trials.

conclusionThe field of tauopathies is in a state of dynamic and rapid progress, requiring close interdisciplinary collaboration.
