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

Pathological tau isoforms, including hyperphosphorylated tau at serine 396 (pS396-tau) and tau oligomers (Oligo-tau), are elevated in the retinas of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD dementia. These patients exhibit significant retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss, however the presence of tau isoforms in RGCs and their impact on RGC integrity, particularly in early AD, have not been studied. Here, we analyzed retinal superior temporal cross-sections from 25 MCI or AD patients and 16 age- and sex-matched cognitively normal controls. Using the RGC marker ribonucleic acid binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS) and Nissl staining, we found a 46-56% reduction in RBPMS
