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

BackgroundEmerging studies implicate the microtubule-associated protein tau as a key modulator of neuronal excitability and synaptic dysfunction in human tauopathies. How distinct tau forms influence synaptic excitability across brain regions with differing susceptibility to tau accumulation remains unclear. Primary age-related tauopathy (PART), defined by hippocampal-restricted tau pathology in the absence of amyloid-β, offers a tractable model to investigate tau-specific effects on synaptic physiology.ObjectiveTo determine how regionally enriched tau species in PART relate to synaptic excitation-inhibition balance and to identify molecular pathways linking tau oligomers to synaptic dysfunction.MethodsAutopsy-derived hippocampal and superior middle temporal gyrus tissues from neuropathologically validated PART specimens were analyzed. Tau species, including monomers, oligomers, and paired helical filaments (PHFs), were quantified by western blot. Synaptic function was assessed by microtransplantation of synaptosomal membranes into
