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

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is defined by motor neuron death. However, recent research has identified non-cell-autonomous mechanisms, with significant involvement of glia in disease progression. We link previous observations of intracellular protein aggregates in glia to the autophagy pathway, the primary mediator of intracellular degradation of large protein aggregates. While dysfunctional autophagy is reported in ALS motor neurons, pre-clinical and clinical outcomes of autophagy modulators have been inconsistent, indicating the need for a nuanced understanding of autophagy dynamics across CNS cell types and ALS-affected regions. We hypothesized that glial autophagy is defective in ALS, with glial-type-specific dysfunction. To investigate in vivo autophagy dynamics, we intercrossed SOD1
