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

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disease caused by rather selective degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Though subject to intensive research, the etiology of this nigral loss is still undetermined and treatment is basically symptomatic. The current major hypothesis is that nigral neuronal death in PD is due to excessive oxidative stress generated by auto and enzymatic oxidation of the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine (DA), the formation of neuromelanin (NM) and the presence of a high concentration of iron. In this review article although we concisely describe the effects of NM and iron on neuronal survival, we mainly focus on the molecular mechanisms of DA-induced apoptosis. DA exerts its toxic effects through its oxidative metabolites either in vitro or in vivo The oxidative metabolites then activate a very intricate web of signals, which culminate in cell death. The signal transduction pathways and genes, which are associated with DA toxicity are described in detail.
