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 aggregation is a defining feature of neurodegenerative tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, corticobasal degeneration, and frontotemporal dementia. This aggregation involves the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of Tau, followed by its sol-gel phase transition, representing a crucial step in aggregate formation both in vitro and in vivo. However, the precise cofactors influencing Tau phase transition and aggregation under physiological conditions (e.g., ion concentration and temperature) remain unclear. In this study, we unveil that nucleic acid secondary structures, specifically RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s), and calcium ions (Ca
