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

backgroundAnti-IgLON5 disease is a rare late-onset neurological disease associated with autoantibodies against IgLON5, neuronal accumulation of phosphorylated Tau protein (p-Tau), and sleep, respiratory, and motor alterations. PURPOSE: We performed a pilot study of whether the neuropathological and clinical features of anti-IgLON5 disease may be recapitulated in mice with chronic intracerebroventricular infusion of human anti-IgLON5 disease IgG (Pt-IgG).

methodsHumanized transgenic hTau mice expressing human Tau protein and wild-type (WT) control mice were infused intracerebroventricularly with Pt-IgG or with antibodies from a control subject for 14 days. The sleep, respiratory, and motor phenotype was evaluated at the end of the antibody infusion and at least 30 days thereafter, followed by immunohistochemical assessment of p-Tau deposition.

resultsIn female hTau and WT mice infused with Pt-IgG, we found reproducible trends of diffuse neuronal cytoplasmic p-Tau deposits in the brainstem and hippocampus, increased ventilatory period during sleep, and decreased inter-lick interval during wakefulness. These findings were not replicated on male hTau mice.

conclusionThe results of our pilot study suggest, but do not prove, that chronic ICV infusion of mice with Pt-IgG may elicit neuropathological, respiratory, and motor alterations. These results should be considered as preliminary until replicated in larger studies taking account of potential sex differences in mice.
