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

Aging causes functional decline and degeneration of neurons and is a major risk factor of neurodegenerative diseases. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal aging, we developed a new pipeline for neuronal proteomic profiling in young and aged animals. While the overall translational machinery is down-regulated, certain proteins increase expressions upon aging. Among these aging-up-regulated proteins, the conserved channel protein TMC-1/Tmc has an anti-aging function in all neurons tested, and the neuroprotective function of TMC-1 occurs by regulating GABA signaling. Moreover, our results show that metabotropic GABA receptors and G protein GOA-1/Goα are required for the anti-neuronal aging functions of TMC-1 and GABA, and the activation of GABA receptors prevents neuronal aging by inhibiting the PLCβ-PKC pathway. Last, we show that the TMC-1-GABA-PKC signaling axis suppresses neuronal functional decline caused by a pathogenic form of human Tau protein. Together, our findings reveal the neuroprotective function of the TMC-1-GABA-PKC signaling axis in aging and disease conditions.
