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

Accumulation of microtubule-associated protein tau is a neurotoxic hallmark in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. To date, no small molecule disease-modifying therapy exists, underscoring an urgent unmet need. In this context, the multitarget-directed ligand (MTDL) approach offers a viable polypharmacological option for modulating key pathways/targets involved in tau pathology. Leveraging the interconnected roles of GSK-3β, FYN, and DYRK1A in tau hyperphosphorylation, we conducted a computational and X-ray crystallography-driven SAR exploration around our previously disclosed GSK-3β/FYN/DYRK1A inhibitor ARN25068 (
