A seeding-based neuronal model of tau aggregation for use in drug discovery.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Intracellular accumulation of tau protein is a hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, as well as other neurodegenerative disorders collectively known as tauopathies. Despite our increasing understanding of the mechanisms leading to the initiation and progression of tau pathology, the field still lacks appropriate disease models to facilitate drug discovery. Here, we established a novel and modulatable seeding-based neuronal model of full-length 4R tau accumulation using humanized mouse cortical neurons and seeds from P301S human tau transgenic animals. The model shows specific and consistent formation of intraneuronal insoluble full-length 4R tau inclusions, which are positive for known markers of tau pathology (AT8, PHF-1, MC-1), and creates seeding competent tau. The formation of new inclusions can be prevented by treatment with tau siRNA, providing a robust internal control for use in qualifying the assessment of potential therapeutic candidates aimed at reducing the intracellular pool of tau. In addition, the experimental set up and data analysis techniques used provide consistent results in larger-scale designs that required multiple rounds of independent experiments, making this is a versatile and valuable cellular model for fundamental and early pre-clinical research of tau-targeted therapies.
