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

Cytoplasmic mislocalization of the TAR-DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) leads to large, insoluble aggregates that are a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. Here, we study how importin α1/β recognizes TDP-43 bipartite nuclear localization signal (NLS). We find that the NLS makes extensive contacts with importin α1, especially at the minor NLS-binding site. NLS binding results in steric clashes with the C terminus of importin α1 that disrupts the TDP-43 N-terminal domain (NTD) dimerization interface. A putative phosphorylation site in the proximity of TDP-43 R83 at the minor NLS site destabilizes binding to importins by reducing the NLS backbone dynamics. Based on these data, we explain the pathogenic role of several post-translational modifications and mutations in the proximity of TDP-43 minor NLS site that are linked to disease and shed light on the chaperone activity of importin α1/β.
