Retrovirus reactivation in CHMP2BIntron5 models of frontotemporal dementia.
Article in Human molecular genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most prevalent form of pre-senile dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can overlap genetically, pathologically and clinically with FTD indicating the two conditions are ends of a spectrum and may share common pathological mechanisms. FTD-ALS causing mutations are known to be involved in endosomal trafficking and RNA regulation. Using an unbiased genome-wide genetic screen to identify mutations affecting an FTD-ALS-related phenotype in Drosophila caused by CHMP2BIntron5 expression, we have uncovered repressors of retrovirus (RV) activity as modifiers of CHMP2BIntron5 toxicity. We report that neuronal expression of CHMP2BIntron5 causes an increase in the activity of the endogenous Drosophila RV, gypsy, in the nervous system. Genetically blocking Drosophila gypsy activation and pharmacologically inhibiting viral reverse transcriptase activity prevents degenerative phenotypes observed in fly and rat neurons. These findings directly link endosomal dysfunction to RV de-repression in an FTD-ALS model without TDP-43 pathology. These observations may contribute an understanding to previous discoveries of RV activation in ALS affected patients.
