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

NIID (Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease) is defined by ubiquitin- and p62-positive intranuclear inclusions, yet their native ultrastructure remains unclear. Using correlative cryo-electron tomography in primary cortical neurons and brain tissue from an NIID mouse model, we show that polyG inclusions are built from interconnected ribbon-like assemblies rather than canonical amyloid fibrils. PolyG populates multiple compartment-specific ribbon states, including a nuclear ribbon network enriched in 26S proteasomes and two cytoplasmic ribbon packing states with sharply different proteasome accessibility. In the cytoplasm, ribbon assemblies frequently contact endomembranes-particularly ER-like membranes-and these interactions coincide with membrane deformation, consistent with transcriptomic dysregulation of ER-stress responses-related genes. Together, these findings establish multiple ribbon states as a core feature of polyG aggregation and provide an in situ framework for linking NIID inclusion architecture to cellular interactions.
