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

Reagents that can selectively recognize specific toxic tau variants associated with onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies can be effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools. We utilized a novel atomic force microscopy-based biopanning protocol to isolate antibody fragments (single chain variable fragments, scFvs) that selectively bind tau variants present in human AD but not cognitively normal age-matched brain tissue. We identified 6 scFvs [Alzheimer's disease tau (ADT)-1 through 6] that readily distinguished between AD and control tissue and sera samples. We utilized 3 of the scFvs (ADT-2, ADT-4, and ADT-6) to analyze longitudinal plasma samples from 50 human patients, 25 patients which converted to AD during the study and 25 that remained cognitively normal. All 3 scFvs could distinguish the AD from control samples with higher tau levels in apolipoprotein E3/3 AD cases compared to apolipoprotein E3/4. Immunohistochemical analyses of human AD brain slices indicated several but not all tau variants overlapping with phosphorylated tau staining. Several reagents also showed therapeutic potential, protecting neuronal cells against AD tau-induced toxicity.
