Drosophila Skp1 Homologue SkpA Plays a Neuroprotective Role in Adult Brain.
Article in iScience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Skp1, a component of the ubiquitin E3 ligases, was found to be decreased in the brains of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, and its overexpression prevented death of murine neurons in culture. Here we expose the neuroprotective role of the Drosophila skp1 homolog, skpA, in the adult brain. Neuronal knockdown of skpA leads to accumulation of ubiquitinated protein aggregates and loss of dopaminergic neurons accompanied by motor dysfunction and reduced lifespan. Conversely, neuronal overexpression of skpA reduces aggregate load, improves age-related motor decline, and prolongs lifespan. Moreover, SkpA rescues neurodegeneration in a Drosophila model of PD. We also show that a Drosophila homolog of FBXO7, the F Box protein, Nutcracker (Ntc), works in the same pathway with SkpA. However, skpA overexpression rescues ntc knockdown phenotype, suggesting that SkpA interacts with additional F box proteins in the adult brain neurons. Collectively, our study discloses Skp1/SkpA as a potential therapeutic target in neurodegenerative diseases.
