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

Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of age-associated proteopathies characterized by the accumulation of misfolded and/or aggregation-prone proteins. This imbalance has been attributed, in part, to an age-dependent decay in the capacity of protein turnover. Most proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), which is composed of ubiquitin ligases and regulatory particles, such as the 19S, that deliver cargo to the proteolytically active 20S proteasome (20S) core. However, a subset of clients, especially intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), are also removed by the action of the ubiquitin-independent proteasome system (UIPS). What are the specific contributions of the UPS and UIPS in the context of neurodegeneration? Here, we explore how age-associated changes in the relative contribution of the UPS and UIPS, combined with the IDP-like structure of many neurodegenerative disease-associated proteins, might contribute. Strikingly, the 20S has been shown to predominate in older neurons and to preferentially act on relevant substrates, such as synuclein and tau. Moreover, pharmacological activation of the 20S has been shown to accelerate removal of aggregation-prone proteins in some models. Together, these recent studies are turning attention to the 20S and the UIPS as potential therapeutic targets in neurodegeneration.
