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

Central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by faulty intracellular transport, cognition, and aggregate regulation. Traditionally, neuroprotection exerted by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACi) has been attributed to the ability of this drug class to promote histone acetylation. However, HDAC6 in the healthy CNS functions via distinct mechanisms, due largely to its cytoplasmic localization. Indeed, in healthy neurons, cytoplasmic HDAC6 regulates the acetylation of a variety of non-histone proteins that are linked to separate functions, i.e., intracellular transport, neurotransmitter release, and aggregate formation. These three HDAC6 activities could work independently or in synergy. Of particular interest, HDAC6 targets the synaptic protein Bruchpilot and neurotransmitter release. In pathological conditions, HDAC6 becomes abundant in the nucleus, with deleterious consequences for transcription regulation and synapses. Thus, HDAC6 plays a leading role in neuronal health or dysfunction. Here, we review recent findings and novel conclusions on the role of HDAC6 in neurodegeneration. Selective studies with pan-HDACi are also included. We propose that an early alteration of HDAC6 undermines synaptic transmission, while altering transport and aggregation, eventually leading to neurodegeneration.
