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

Tau interacts with multiple heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs)-a family of RNA binding proteins that regulate multiple known cellular functions, including mRNA splicing, mRNA transport, and translation regulation. We have previously demonstrated particularly significant interactions between phosphorylated tau and three hnRNPs (hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2B1, and hnRNP K). Although multiple hnRNPs have been previously implicated in tauopathies, knowledge of whether these hnRNPs colocalize with tau aggregates or show cellular mislocalization in disease is limited. Here, we performed a neuropathological study examining the colocalization between hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2B1, hnRNP K, and phosphorylated tau in two brain regions (hippocampus and frontal cortex) in six disease groups (Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, Pick's disease, and controls). Contrary to expectations, hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2B1, and hnRNP K did not colocalize with AT8-immunoreactive phosphorylated tau pathology in any of the tauopathies examined. However, we did observe significant cellular mislocalization of hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2B1 and hnRNP K in tauopathies, with unique patterns of mislocalization observed for each hnRNP. These data point to broad dysregulation of hnRNP A1, A2B1 and K across tauopathies with implications for disease processes and RNA regulation.
