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

Amyloid deposition of the microtubule-associated protein tau is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. In frontotemporal dementia with abnormal tau (FTD-tau), missense mutations in tau enhance its aggregation propensity. Here we describe the structural mechanism for how an FTD-tau S320F mutation drives spontaneous aggregation, integrating data from in vitro, in silico and cellular experiments. We find that S320F stabilizes a local hydrophobic cluster which allosterically exposes the
