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

DYT1 dystonia is caused by a glutamic acid deletion (ΔE) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein torsinA. Previous studies suggest that torsinA modulates the aggregation of cytosolic misfolded proteins and ER stress responses, although the mechanisms underlying those effects remain unclear. In order to investigate the bases of these observations, we analyzed the interaction between torsinA expression, protein aggregation and ER stress in PC6.3 cells. Unexpectedly, we found that expression of torsinA(wt) or (ΔE) does not influence the inclusion formation by an expanded polyglutamine reporter protein in this cellular model. Furthermore, torsinA does not prevent the activation of ER stress induced by thapsigargin or the reducing agent DTT. Interestingly, DTT induces post-translational changes in torsinA, more prominently for torsinA(wt) than (ΔE). This work highlights the importance of model system selection for the study of torsinA function. Furthermore, it provides additional evidence suggesting that torsinA is sensitive to changes in the cellular redox potential.
