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

Aggregation of the protein tau is a key pathological hallmark of tauopathies such as Alzheimer's Disease. Tau dissociates from microtubules and diffuses from the axon into the soma-dendritic compartment, where it aggregates firstly into oligomers and ultimately into neurofibrillary tangles. There is gathering evidence that it is the soluble tau aggregates that are the major active species and that their effects on neuronal electrophysiological properties, synaptic transmission and plasticity could contribute to early cognitive decline. Here we have investigated the effects of incubating acute mouse hippocampal slices with recombinant tau aggregates. We observed interictal events and an increase in excitability of CA3 pyramidal cells. Tau aggregates had little effect on basal synaptic transmission but antagonism of GABA
