The Progression of Prion Diseases Is Not Altered in the Absence of TMEM106B.
Article in eNeuro, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein localized in late endosomes and lysosomes. This protein has been attributed to relevant roles in disease risk and progression of multiple neurodegenerative disorders. In experimental models, TMEM106B has been linked with the prion-like spread of misfolded tau proteins responsible for Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. The role of this protein in the spread of other misfolded proteins, like prions, has not been explored. Here, we tested whether the removal of TMEM106B altered the progression of prion diseases using animal mouse models (male and female). This was carefully tested using different prion dosages, strains, and routes of administration. Our results demonstrate that the absence of TMEM106B does not alter the progression of prion diseases in any of the tested conditions. This data provides supportive evidence on the specificity of TMEM106B in neurodegenerative conditions.
