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

backgroundThe role of immune cells in neurodegeneration remains incompletely understood. Accumulation of misfolded tau proteins is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Our recent study revealed the presence of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in the meninges, where they express antioxidant molecules to maintain meningeal barrier integrity. However, the role of MAIT cells in tau-related neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remains unknown.

methodsFlow cytometry analysis was performed to examine MAIT cells in human Tau P301S transgenic mice. Tau pathology, hippocampus atrophy, meningeal integrity, and microglial gene expression were examined in Mr1

resultsThe meninges of P301S mutant human tau transgenic mice had increased numbers of MAIT cells, which retained their expression of antioxidant molecules. Mr1

conclusionsOur data indicate an important role for MAIT cells in regulating tau-pathology-related neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
