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

Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies are characterized by the presence of intra-neuronal protein aggregates enriched in the presynaptic protein α-synuclein. α-synuclein is considered an intrinsically disordered 14 kDa monomer, and although poorly understood, its transition to higher-order multimeric species may play central roles in healthy neurons and during Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. In this study, we demonstrate that α-synuclein exists as defined, subcellular-specific species that change characteristics in response to oxidative stress in neuroblastoma cells and in response to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis in human cerebellum and frontal cortex. We further show that the phosphorylation patterns of different α-synuclein species are subcellular specific and dependent on the oxidative environment. Using high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, we identify a Parkinson's disease enriched, cytosolic ~36-kDa α-synuclein species which can be recapitulated in Parkinson's disease model neuroblastoma cells. The characterization of subcellular-specific α-synuclein features in neurodegeneration will allow for the identification of neurotoxic α-synuclein species, which represent prime targets to reduce α-synuclein pathogenicity.
