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

Pathological tau fibrils in progressive supranuclear palsy, frontotemporal dementia, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and Alzheimer's disease each have unique conformations, and post-translational modifications that correlate with unique disease characteristics. However, within Alzheimer's disease (AD), both fibrillar (sarkosyl insoluble (AD SARK tau)), and nonfibrillar (aqueous extractable high molecular weight (AD HMW tau)) preparations have been suggested to be seed-competent. We now explore if these preparations are similar or distinct in their in vivo seeding characteristics. Using an in vivo amplification and time-course paradigm we demonstrate that, for AD HMW and AD SARK tau species, the amplified material is biochemically similar to the original sample. The HMW and SARK materials also show different clearance, propagation kinetics, and propagation patterns. These data indicate the surprising co-occurrence of multiple distinct tau species within the same AD brain, supporting the idea that multiple tau conformers - both fibrillar and nonfibrillar- can impact phenotype in AD.
