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

A role for the trafficking receptor SORLA (Sortilin-related receptor containing LDLR class A repeats) in reducing Aβ levels has been well established; however, relatively little is known with respect to whether and how SORLA can potentially affect tau pathology in vivo. Here, we show that transgenic SORLA up-regulation (SORLA TG) can attenuate pathological effects in aged PS19 (P301S tau) mouse brain, including tau phosphorylation and seeding, ventricle dilation, synapse loss, long-term potentiation (LTP) impairment, and glial hyperactivation. Proteomic analysis indicates attenuation of PS19 profiles in PS19/SORLA TG hippocampus, including pathological changes in synapse-related proteins and key drivers of synaptic dysfunction such as ApoE and C1q. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing analysis reveals suppression of PS19 signatures with SORLA up-regulation and identifies a previously unrecognized involvement of Sema4D-PlexinB1/B2 signaling in glial pathology. In contrast, SORLA deletion exacerbates tau seeding and aggregation, glial hyperactivation, and PlxnB1/B2 induction in PS19 hippocampus. These results indicate that SORLA confers neuroprotection against tau toxicity in the PS19 mouse brain.
