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

Extraction of α-Synuclein (αSyn) aggregates from Lewy body disease (LBD) brains has been widely described yet templated fibrillization of LB-αSyn often fails to propagate its structural and functional properties. We recently demonstrated that aggregates amplified from LB-αSyn (ampLB) show distinct biological activities in vitro compared to human αSyn preformed fibrils (hPFF) formed de novo. Here we compare the in vivo biological activities of hPFF and ampLB regarding seeding activity, latency in inducing pathology, distribution of pathology, inclusion morphology, and cell-type preference. Injection of ampLB into mice expressing only human αSyn (male Thy1:SNCA/Snca
