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

OPTN is an autophagy receptor involved in autophagic degradation. Here we studied the role of OPTN in attenuating the neurotoxicity induced by mutated Tau protein. We constructed recombinant adeno-associated viruses with OPTN and Tau-P301L genes, respectively. Through virus coinfection on neuronal cell line HT22 in vitro and Kunming mice in vivo, we found that autophagy- and apoptosis-associated genes are altered by Tau-P301L at both mRNA and protein levels, which are restored by OPTN expression. Functionally, OPTN suppresses apoptosis and enhances cellular viability in Tau-P301L expressing HT22 cells, and increases learning and memory in Tau-P301L expressing mice, respectively. Last, we found that OPTN reduces the p-Tau levels in vitro and in vivo. Our results reveal the function of OPTN in lowering the p-Tau level and the expressions of apoptosis genes, and increasing the expressions of autophagic genes, indicating a beneficial role of OPTN in Tau pathology.
