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

A conformational change of the cellular prion protein (PrP(c)) underlies formation of PrP(Sc), which is closely associated with pathogenesis and transmission of prion diseases. The precise conformational prerequisites and the cellular environment necessary for this post-translational process remain to be completely elucidated. At steady state, glycosylated PrP(c) is found primarily at the cell surface, whereas a minor fraction of the population is disposed of by the ER-associated degradation-proteasome pathway. However, chronic ER stress conditions and proteasomal dysfunctions lead to accumulation of aggregation-prone PrP molecules in the cytosol and to neurodegeneration. In this study, we challenged different cell lines by inducing ER stress or inhibiting proteasomal activity and analyzed the subsequent repercussion on PrP metabolism, focusing on PrP in the secretory pathway. Both events led to enhanced detection of PrP aggregates and a significant increase of PrP(Sc) in persistently prion-infected cells, which could be reversed by overexpression of proteins of the cellular quality control. Remarkably, upon proteasomal impairment, an increased fraction of misfolded, fully glycosylated PrP molecules traveled through the secretory pathway and reached the plasma membrane. These findings suggest a novel pathway that possibly provides additional substrate and template necessary for prion formation when protein clearance by the proteasome is impaired.
