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

Phosphorylated tau is the main protein present in neurofibrillary tangles, the presence of which is a key neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The toxic effects of phosphorylated tau are likely mediated by interacting proteins; however, methods to identify these interacting proteins comprehensively in human brain tissue are limited. Here, we describe a method that enables the efficient identification of hundreds of proteins that interact with phosphorylated tau (pTau), using affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) on human, fresh-frozen brain tissue from donors with AD. Tissue is homogenized using a gentle technique that preserves protein-protein interactions, and co-immunoprecipitation of pTau and its interacting proteins is performed using the PHF1 antibody. The resulting protein interactors are then identified using label-free quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS. The Significance Analysis of INTeractome (SAINT) algorithm is used to determine which proteins significantly interact with pTau. This approach enables the detection of an abundance of all 6 isoforms of tau, 23 phosphorylated residues on tau, and 125 significant pTau protein interactors, in human AD brain tissue.
