Molecular signatures of regional vulnerability to tauopathy in excitatory cortical neurons.
Article in Acta neuropathologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Tauopathies are characterized by the aggregation and accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins that correlates with cognitive impairment in affected individuals. The presence of tauopathy follows a temporospatial spreading pattern in which certain neuronal cell types in specific brain regions are more vulnerable to tau accumulation and atrophy. However, the mechanisms underlying the selective vulnerability of these neurons and regions to pathological tau accumulation are not fully understood. Here, we characterized the presence of phosphorylated tau in excitatory and inhibitory neurons in post-mortem prefrontal cortex of tauopathy patients, including Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and frontotemporal lobar dementia due to a MAPT mutation. We observed that neuronal tau accumulation across these tauopathies occurs predominantly in excitatory neurons compared to inhibitory neurons. Next, we performed viral translating ribosome affinity purification (vTRAP) from vulnerable and resistant brain regions on vGLUT1
