A functional role for alpha-synuclein in neuroimmune responses.
Review in Journal of neuroimmunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Alpha-synuclein is a neuronal protein with unclear function but is associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies. In this review, we discuss the emerging functional role of alpha-synuclein in support of the unique immune responses in the nervous system. Recent data now show that alpha-synuclein functions to support interferon signaling within neurons and is released from neurons to support chemoattraction and activation of local glial cells and infiltrating immune cells. Inflammatory activation and interferon signaling also induce post-translational modifications of alpha-synuclein that are commonly associated with Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Taken together, emerging data implicate complex interactions between alpha-synuclein and host immune responses that may contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Additional study of the function of alpha-synuclein in the brain's immune response may provide disease-modifying therapeutic targets for Parkinson's disease in the future.
