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

A key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is the intracellular accumulation of tau protein in the form of neurofibrillary tangles across large-scale networks of the human brain cortex. Currently, it is still unclear how tau accumulates within specific cortical systems and whether in situ genetic traits play a role in this circuit-based propagation progression. In this study, using two independent cohorts of cognitively normal older participants, we reveal the brain network foundation of tau spreading and its association with using high-resolution transcriptomic genetic data. We observed that specific connectomic and genetic gradients exist along the tau spreading network. In particular, we identified 577 genes whose expression is associated with the spatial spreading of tau. Within this set of genes,
