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

Mutations in the Vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35) gene have been linked to familial Parkinson's disease (PD), PARK17. VPS35 is a key component of the retromer complex, which plays a central role in endosomal trafficking. However, whether and how VPS35 deficiency or mutation contributes to PD pathogenesis remain unclear. Here, we analyzed human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from PD patients with the VPS35 D620N mutation and addressed relevant disease mechanisms. In the disease group, dopaminergic (DA) neurons underwent extensive apoptotic cell death. The movement of Rab5a- or Rab7a-positive endosomes was slower, and the endosome fission and fusion frequencies were lower in the PD group than in the healthy control group. Interestingly, vesicles positive for cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor transported by retromers were abnormally localized in glial cells derived from patient iPSCs. Furthermore, we found α-synuclein accumulation in TH positive DA neurons. Our results demonstrate the induction of cell death, endosomal dysfunction and α -synuclein accumulation in neural cells of the PD group. PARK17 patient-derived iPSCs provide an excellent experimental tool for understanding the pathophysiology underlying PD.
