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

The alpha-synuclein immunopositive and chaotrope-insoluble material from human brains with Lewy body pathology was analyzed by mass spectrometry. From the proteinase K-cleavable peripheral fraction of Lewy bodies, which was densely cross-linked by gamma-glutamyl-epsilon-lysine bonds between HspB1 and ubiquitin in a pattern similar to neurofibrillary tangles (Nemes, Z., Devreese, B., Steinert, P. M., Van Beeumen, J., and Fésüs, L. (2004) FASEB J. 18, 1135-1137), 53 proteins were identified. In the core of Lewy bodies only alpha-synuclein was found, and it contained a low amount of intramolecular cross-links between Gln-99 and Lys-58. In vitro cross-linking of alpha-synuclein by transglutaminases 1-3 and 5 produced a heterogeneous population of variably cross-linked alpha-synucleins in solution, which inhibited the aggregation of the protein into amyloid. However, in the presence of phosphatidylserine-rich membranes and micromolar calcium concentrations, the cross-linking by transglutaminases 1, 2, and 5 showed specificity toward the utilization of Gln-99 and Lys-58. As shown by thioflavin T fluorescence monitoring, the formation of this cross-link accelerated the aggregation of native alpha-synuclein. Chemical cross-linking of residues 58-99 triggered amyloid formation, whereas such bonding of residues 99 to 10 was inhibitory. Our findings reveal the pivotal role of membrane attachment and transglutaminase-mediated intermolecular cross-linking for the propagative misfolding and aggregation of alpha-synuclein.
