Liquid-liquid phase separation of Tau and α-synuclein: a new target for treating comorbidity in neurodegeneration.
Review in Biophysical reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are the most common neurodegenerative disorders, causing significant disability and mortality worldwide. Though traditionally classified as Tau and α-synuclein-related disorders, respectively, there is growing evidence of clinical overlap between dementia and Parkinsonism, with comorbidity worsening cognitive impairment and prognosis. Emerging research on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) offers promising insights into novel treatments of these proteinopathies by targeting the phase behavior of the disease-associated proteins. Thus, manipulating condensates has become a focus for developing new therapeutic compounds, termed condensate-modifying drugs (c-mods), by which historically considered undruggable proteins can be targeted. This review offers an overview of bioactive molecules that act as modifiers of Tau and α-synuclein condensates through various mechanisms. The goal is to lay the groundwork for discovering new therapeutic approaches to prevent harmful protein aggregation and treat comorbidity in tau and synucleinopathies.
