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

Prion diseases comprise a family of fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by the conformational re-arrangement of a normal host-encoded protein, PrP (C) , to an abnormal infectious isoform termed PrP (Sc) . Currently, the precise cellular mechanism(s) underlying prion disease pathogenesis remain unclear. Evidence suggests a role for the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), a protein degradation pathway that is critical for maintaining cellular proteostasis. Dysfunction of the UPS has been implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms of this impairment remain unknown in many cases, and evidence that disease-associated misfolded proteins are able to directly inhibit the function of the proteasome has been lacking. Recently, we have shown data describing a mechanism of proteasome impairment by the direct interaction of β-sheet-rich PrP to reduce gate opening and inhibit substrate entry. This novel mechanism may provide a model for how other misfolded, disease-associated proteins might interact with the proteasome to disrupt its function. Targeting the UPS to restore proteostasis in neurodegenerative disorders in which misfolded proteins accumulate offers a possible target for therapeutic intervention.
