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

Phase separation into liquid-like compartments is an emerging property of proteins containing prion-like domains (PrLDs), yet the in vivo roles of phase separation remain poorly understood. TIA proteins contain a C-terminal PrLD, and mutations in the PrLD are associated with several diseases. Here, we show that the C. elegans TIAR-2/TIA protein functions cell autonomously to inhibit axon regeneration. TIAR-2 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation in vitro and forms granules with liquid-like properties in vivo. Axon injury induces a transient increase in TIAR-2 granule number. The PrLD is necessary and sufficient for granule formation and inhibiting regeneration. Tyrosine residues within the PrLD are important for granule formation and inhibition of regeneration. TIAR-2 is also serine phosphorylated in vivo. Non-phosphorylatable TIAR-2 variants do not form granules and are unable to inhibit axon regeneration. Our data demonstrate an in vivo function for phase-separated TIAR-2 and identify features critical for its function in axon regeneration.
