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

TDP-43, a multifaceted RNA-binding protein (RBP), has emerged as a key regulator in neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, its underlying mechanisms of action across other diseases remain unclear. This review covers TDP-43’s structural domains, its pathology in neurodegenerative diseases, and its liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) properties, where the disease pathology and LLPS together drive its aggregate-forming behavior. This review then focuses on the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling mechanisms of TDP-43, analyzing their role in governing its subcellular localization and functional diversity. The review further summarizes how TDP-43 modulates cellular metabolism (encompassing lipid, glucose, and ATP homeostasis) and cell death pathways in neurological disorders, cancer, and immunity. Finally, this review highlights unresolved questions, including the putative role of TDP-43 as an RBP in post-transcriptional RNA modification and the regulatory networks controlling its expression, thereby providing directions for clinical diagnosis and treatment of TDP-43-associated diseases.
