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

purposeDepositions of tau fibrils are implicated in diverse neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, and precise assessments of tau pathologies and their impacts on neuronal survival are crucial for pursuing the neurodegenerative tau pathogenesis with and without potential therapies. We aimed to establish an in vivo imaging system to quantify tau accumulations with positron emission tomography (PET) and brain atrophy with volumetric MRI in rTg4510 transgenic mice modeling neurodegenerative tauopathies.

methodsA total of 91 rTg4510 and non-transgenic control mice underwent PET with a tau radiotracer,

results

conclusionOur imaging platform has enabled the quantification of tau depositions and consequent neuronal loss and is potentially applicable to the evaluation of candidate anti-tau and neuroprotective drugs.
