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

Posttranslational modifications by phosphorylation, ubiquitination, neddylation and other pathways have emerged as major regulators of cellular functions. NEDD8 ultimate buster 1, NUB1, is an adaptor protein, which negatively regulates the levels of the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 as well as neddylated proteins through proteasomal degradation. We previously reported that NUB1 is highly involved in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathy including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). In general, since phosphorylation is strongly related to the alteration of protein propensity, we examined if the fundamental function of NUB1 can be modulated by its phosphorylation. We created a series of phosphomimic mutants of NUB1. Among them, we found that phosphorylation of NUB1 at S46 (P-NUB46) efficiently degrades aggregates using a cell-based assay. Immunohistochemical studies have shown that specific antibodies against P-NUB46 reacted with Lewy bodies in PD and DLB but not with glial cytoplasmic inclusions in MSA. Moreover, P-NUB46 levels were significantly higher in the brains of patients with DLB than in control brains, and P-NUB46 was extracted in an insoluble fraction of DLB. These findings suggest that the phosphorylation of NUB1 is modulated during the pathological process of Lewy body disease.
