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

Increasing evidence suggests that alternative splicing plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. We used long-read sequencing in combination with a novel bioinformatics tool (FICLE) to profile transcript diversity in the entorhinal cortex of female transgenic (TG) mice harboring a mutant form of human tau. Our analyses revealed hundreds of novel isoforms and identified differentially expressed transcripts - including specific isoforms of Apoe, App, Cd33, Clu, Fyn and Trem2 - associated with the development of tau pathology in TG mice. Subsequent profiling of the human cortex from AD individuals and controls revealed similar patterns of transcript diversity, including the upregulation of the dominant TREM2 isoform in AD paralleling the increased expression of the homologous transcript in TG mice. Our results highlight the importance of differential transcript usage, even in the absence of gene-level expression alterations, as a mechanism underpinning gene regulation in the development of AD neuropathology.
