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

An emerging view regarding neurodegenerative diseases is that discreet seeding of misfolded proteins leads to widespread pathology. However, the mechanisms by which misfolded proteins seed distinct brain regions and cause differential whole-brain pathology remain elusive. We used whole-brain tissue clearing and high-resolution imaging to longitudinally map pathology in an α-synuclein pre-formed fibril injection model of Parkinson's disease. Cleared brains at different time points of disease progression were quantitatively segmented and registered to a standardized atlas, revealing distinct phases of spreading and decline. We then fit a computational model with parameters that represent α-synuclein pathology spreading, aggregation, decay, and gene expression pattern to this longitudinal dataset. Remarkably, our model can generalize to predicting α-synuclein spreading patterns from several distinct brain regions and can even estimate their origins. This model empowers mechanistic understanding and accurate prediction of disease progression, paving the way for the development and testing of therapeutic interventions.
