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

In the present study, we analyze the effects of ethanol on the Golgi structure and membrane transport in differentiated PC12 cells, which are used as a model of neurons. Chronic exposure to moderate doses of ethanol induces Golgi fragmentation, a common characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases. Alcohol impaired the lateral linking of stacks without causing microtubule damage. Extensive immunocytochemical and western blot analyses of representative Golgi proteins showed that few, but important, proteins are significantly affected. Thus, alcohol exposure induced a significant ER-to-Golgi transport delay, the retention of the GTPase Rab1 in the Golgi membranes and the accumulation of tethering factor p115 in the cytosol. These modifications would explain the observed fragmentation. The amount of p115 and the stacking protein GRASP65 increased in alcohol-treated cells, which might be a mechanism to reverse Golgi damage. Importantly, the overexpression of GTP-tagged Rab1 but not of a dominant-negative Rab1 mutant, restored the Golgi morphology, suggesting that this protein is the main target of alcohol. Taken together, our results support the view that alcohol and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson have similar effects on intracellular trafficking and provide new clues on the neuropathology of alcoholism.
