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

Annexin A11 mutations are a rare cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), wherein replicated protein variants P36R, G38R, D40G and D40Y are located in a small helix within the long, disordered N-terminus. To elucidate disease mechanisms, we characterized the phenotypes induced by a genetic loss-of-function and by misexpression of G38R and D40G in vivo. Loss of Annexin A11 results in a low-penetrant behavioural phenotype and aberrant axonal morphology in zebrafish homozygous knockout larvae, which is rescued by human wild-type Annexin A11. Both Annexin A11 knockout/down and ALS variants trigger nuclear dysfunction characterized by Lamin B2 mislocalization. The Lamin B2 signature also presented in anterior horn, spinal cord neurons from post-mortem ALS ± frontotemporal dementia patient tissue possessing G38R and D40G protein variants. These findings suggest mutant Annexin A11 acts as a dominant negative, revealing a potential early nucleopathy highlighting nuclear envelope abnormalities preceding behavioural abnormality in animal models.
