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

Several symptomatic treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) are currently available. Still, the challenge today is to find a therapy that might reduce degeneration and slow down disease progression. The identification of pathogenic mutations in familial Parkinsonism (fPD) associated to the monogenic forms of PD provided pathophysiological insights and highlighted novel targets for therapeutic intervention. Mutations in the VPS35 gene have been associated with autosomal dominant fPD and a clinical phenotype indistinguishable from idiopathic PD. Although VPS35 mutations are relatively rare causes of PD, their study may help understanding specific cellular and molecular alterations that lead to accumulation α-synuclein in neurons of PD patients. Interacting with such mechanisms may provide innovative therapeutic approaches. We review here the evidence on the physiological role of VPS35 as a key intracellular trafficking protein controlling relevant neuronal functions. We further analyze VPS35 activity on α-synuclein degradation pathways that control the equilibrium between α-synuclein clearance and accumulation. Finally, we highlight the strategies for increasing VPS35 levels as a potential tool to treat PD.
