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

Progressive aggregation of tau protein in neurons is associated with neurodegeneration in tauopathies. Cell non-autonomous disease mechanisms in astrocytes may be important drivers of the disease process but remain largely elusive. Here, we studied cell type-specific responses to intraneuronal tau aggregation prior to neurodegeneration. To this end, we developed a fully human co-culture model of seed-independent intraneuronal tau pathology, which shows no neuron and synapse loss. Using high-content microscopy, we show that intraneuronal tau aggregation induces oxidative stress accompanied by activation of the integrated stress response specifically in astrocytes. This requires the direct co-culture with neurons and is not related to neurodegeneration or extracellular tau levels. Tau-directed antisense therapy reduced intraneuronal tau levels and aggregation and prevented the cell non-autonomous responses in astrocytes. These data identify the astrocytic integrated stress response as a novel disease mechanism activated by intraneuronal tau aggregation. In addition, our data provide the first evidence for the efficacy of tau-directed antisense therapy to target cell autonomous and cell non-autonomous disease pathways in a fully human model of tau pathology.
