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

Background: Epidemiological studies have variably linked air pollution to increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there is little experimental evidence for this association. Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) propagation plays central roles in PD and glutamate receptor A1 (GluA1) is involved in memory and olfaction function. Methods: Each mouse was exposed to one of three different batches of nano-particulate matter (nPM) (300 μg/m Results: As expected, α-syn pSer129 was detected in ipsilateral OB, anterior olfactory nucleus, amygdala and piriform cortex. One of the three batches of nPM caused a trend for elevated α-syn pSer129 in Paradigm 1, but two other batches showed no effect in Paradigm 2. However, the combination of nPM and PFF significantly decreased Conclusion: Exposures to ambient nPM had weak effect on α-syn propagation in the brain in current experimental paradigms; however, nPM and α-syn synergistically downregulated the expression of
