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

Epileptic seizures constitute a significant comorbidity of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which are recapitulated in transgenic mouse models of amyloidogenesis. Here, we sought to evaluate the potential role of tau pathology regarding seizure occurrence. To this end, we performed intra-hippocampal electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings and PTZ (pentylenetetrazol) seizure threshold tests in THY-Tau22 transgenic mice of AD-like tau pathology. We demonstrate that despite a lack of spontaneous epileptiform activity in Tau22 mice, the animals display increased PTZ-induced seizure susceptibility and mortality. The increased propensity for induced seizures in THY-Tau22 mutants correlates with astrogliosis and increased expression of adenosine kinase, consistent with increased network excitability. These data support an impact of tau pathology toward AD-associated seizures and suggest that tau pathology may contribute to seizure generation in AD independent of Aβ pathology.
