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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive nervous system disorder. Until now, the molecular mechanism of its occurrence is not fully understood. Paraquat (PQ) was identified as a neurotoxicant and is linked to increased PD risk and PD-like neuropathology. Ferroptosis is recognized as a new form of regulated cell death. Here, we revealed a new underlying mechanism by which ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis is involved in PD induced by PQ. The effect of PQ on movement injury in mice was investigated by the bar fatigue and pole-climbing test. SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were used to evaluate the mechanism of ferroptosis. Our results showed that PQ induced movement injury by causing the decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase in mice. In vitro, PQ significantly caused the iron accumulation in cytoplasm and mitochondria through ferritinophagy pathway induced by NCOA4. Iron overload initiated lipid peroxidation through 12Lox, further inducing ferroptosis by producing lipid ROS. PQ downregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression and upregulated Cox2 expression significantly, which were important markers in ferroptosis. Fer-1, an inhibitor of ferroptosis, could significantly ameliorate the ferroptosis induced by PQ. Meanwhile, Bcl2, Bax, and p-38 were involved in apoptosis induced by PQ. In conclusion, ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis pathway played an important role in PD occurrence. Bcl2/Bax and P-p38/p38 pathways mediated the cross-talk between ferroptosis and apoptosis induced by PQ. These data further demonstrated the complexity of PD occurrence. The inhibition of the ferroptosis and apoptosis together may be a new strategy for the prevention of neurotoxicity or PD in the future.
