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

Nuclear depletion and cytoplasmic mislocalisation of the RNA-binding protein heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) within pyramidal neurons of the frontal cortex have been shown to be a common neuropathological feature in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and elderly control brain. Here, we describe a second neuronal subtype vulnerable to mislocalisation within the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum. In contrast to neurons within the cerebellar cortex that typically exhibited normal, nuclear staining, many neurons of the dentate nucleus exhibited striking mislocalisation of hnRNP K to the cytoplasm within neurodegenerative disease brain. Mislocalisation frequency in this region was found to be significantly higher in both FTLD-TDP A and Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain than in age-matched controls. However, within control (but not disease) subjects, mislocalisation frequency was significantly associated with age-at-death with more elderly controls typically exhibiting greater levels of the pathology. This study provides further evidence for hnRNP K mislocalisation being a more anatomically diverse pathology than previously thought and suggests that potential dysfunction of the protein may be more broadly relevant to the fields of neurodegeneration and ageing.
