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

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most frequent cause of Parkinson's disease (PD) with late-onset and autosomal-dominant inheritance. LRRK2 belongs to the ROCO superfamily of proteins, characterized by a Ras-of-complex (Roc) GTPase domain in tandem with a C-terminal-of-Roc (COR) domain. LRRK2 also contains a protein kinase domain adjacent to the Roc-COR tandem domain in addition to multiple repeat domains. Disease-causing familial mutations cluster within the Roc-COR tandem and kinase domains of LRRK2, where they act to either impair GTPase activity or enhance kinase activity. Familial LRRK2 mutations share in common the capacity to induce neuronal toxicity in cultured cells. While the contribution of the frequent G2019S mutation, located within the kinase domain, to kinase activity and neurotoxicity has been extensively investigated, the contribution of GTPase activity has received less attention. The GTPase domain has been shown to play an important role in regulating kinase activity, in dimerization, and in mediating the neurotoxic effects of LRRK2. Accordingly, the GTPase domain has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for inhibiting the pathogenic effects of LRRK2 mutations. Many important mechanisms remain to be elucidated, including how the GTPase cycle of LRRK2 is regulated, whether GTPase effectors exist for LRRK2, and how GTPase activity contributes to the overall functional output of LRRK2. In this review, we discuss the importance of the GTPase domain for LRRK2-linked PD focusing in particular on its regulation, function, and contribution to neurotoxic mechanisms.
