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

A GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene has been identified as the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. The repeat expansion undergoes unconventional translation to produce five dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs). Although DPRs are thought to be neurotoxic, the molecular mechanism underlying the DPR-caused neurotoxicity has not been fully elucidated. The current study shows that poly-proline-arginine (poly-PR), the most toxic DPR in vitro, binds to and up-regulates nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) that plays an essential role as a scaffold non-coding RNA during the paraspeckle formation. The CRISPR-assisted up-regulation of endogenous NEAT1 causes neurotoxicity. We also show that the poly-PR modulates the function of several paraspeckle-localizing heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Furthermore, dysregulated expression of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) up-regulates NEAT1 expression and induces neurotoxicity. These results suggest that the increase in the paraspeckle formation may be involved in the poly-PR- and TDP-43-mediated neurotoxicity.
