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

aimsParkinson's disease (PD) heavily affects humans and little is known about its cause and pathogenesis. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) plays a key role in regulating mitochondrial dysfunction, which is the main cause of DAergic neuronal loss in PD. We investigated the mechanisms of neuroprotective role of Sirt3 in DAergic neuronal survival.

resultsSirt3 was reduced in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6 tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated neurons with its overexpression being neuroprotective. We identified that Sirt3 interacted with manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase β and modulated their activities by deacetylating SOD2 (K130) and ATP synthase β (K485) to prevent reactive oxygen species accumulation and ATP depletion, and to alleviate DAergic neuronal death upon MPTP treatment. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) interacted with estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) that bound to the Sirt3 promoter as its transcription factor to regulate Sirt3 expression and DAergic neuronal death. In the mouse midbrain, MPTP administration led to the loss of PGC-1α and Sirt3, high acetylation level of SOD2 and ATP synthase β, and the specific loss of DAergic neurons, while Sirt3 overexpression could protect against DAergic neuronal loss. Sirt3 knockout mice exhibited more sensitive and more DAergic neuronal loss to MPTP treatment. INNOVATION: The study provides new insights into a critical PGC-1α/ERRα-Sirt3 pathway, linking regulation of mitochondrial protein acetylation and DAergic neuronal death in PD pathogenesis, which provide a potential therapeutic strategy and target in PD treatment.

conclusionThese results provide a vital PGC-1α/ERRα-Sirt3 pathway that protects against DAergic neuronal death by directly deacetylating SOD2 (K130) and ATP synthase β (K485) in PD.
