TBK1 Mutations in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia: Mechanistic Insights into Impaired Autophagy and Proteostatic Failure.
Review in Cells, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mutations in the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) gene represent a significant genetic link across the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) spectrum. As a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase, TBK1 serves as a central orchestrator of the autophagy-lysosome pathway, regulating critical stages from initial cargo recognition and autophagosome biogenesis to vesicle maturation and lysosomal fusion. This review examines the mechanisms by which TBK1 coordinates these diverse autophagic functions. We then focus on how ALS/FTD-associated mutations-ranging from truncating variants causing haploinsufficiency to domain-specific missense mutations-disrupt these essential processes.
