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

Intracellular mislocalization of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a nuclear DNA/RNA-binding protein involved in RNA metabolism, is a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although the aggregation-prone, TDP-43 C-terminal domain is widely considered as a key component of TDP-43 pathology in ALS, recent studies including ours suggest that TDP-43 N-terminal fragments (TDP-∆C) may also contribute to the motor dysfunction in ALS. However, the specific pathological functions of TDP-43 N-terminal fragments in mice have not been elucidated. Here, we established TDP-∆C knock-in mice missing a part of exon 6 of murine Tardbp gene, which encodes the C-terminal region of TDP-43. Homozygous TDP-∆C mice showed embryonic lethality, indicating that the N-terminal domain of TDP-43 alone is not sufficient for normal development. In contrast, heterozygous TDP-∆C mice developed normally but exhibited age-dependent mild motor dysfunction with a loss of C-boutons, large cholinergic synaptic terminals on spinal α-motor neurons. TDP-∆C protein broadly perturbed gene expression in the spinal cords of aged heterozygous TDP-∆C mice, including downregulation of Notch1 mRNA. Moreover, the level of Notch1 mRNA was suppressed both by TDP-43 depletion and TDP-∆C expression in Neuro2a cells. Decreased Notch1 mRNA expression in aged TDP-∆C mice was associated with the age-dependent motor dysfunction and loss of Akt surviving signal. Our findings indicate that the N-terminal region of TDP-43 derived from TDP-∆C induces the age-dependent motor dysfunction associated with impaired Notch1-Akt axis in mice.
