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

Cellular mechanisms that act in concert to maintain protein homeostasis (proteostasis) are vital for organismal functionality and survival. Nevertheless, subsets of aggregation-prone proteins form toxic aggregates (proteotoxicity) that in some cases, underlie the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Proteotoxic aggregates are often deposited in the vicinity of the nucleus, a process that is cytoskeleton-dependent. Accordingly, cytoskeletal dysfunction contributes to pathological hallmarks of various neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we asked whether the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex, which bridges these filaments across the nuclear envelope, is needed for the maintenance of proteostasis. Employing model nematodes, we discovered that knocking down LINC components impairs the ability of the worm to cope with proteotoxicity. Knocking down anc-1, which encodes a key component of the LINC complex, modulates the expression of transcription factors and E3 ubiquitin ligases, thereby affecting the rates of protein ubiquitination and impairing proteasome-mediated protein degradation. Our results establish a link between the LINC complex, protein degradation, and neurodegeneration-associated proteotoxicity.
