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

The study was designed to investigate the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal (GI) impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). We utilized 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP, 20 mg/kg) and probenecid (250 mg/kg) to prepare a PD mice model. MPTP modeling was first confirmed. GI motility was measured using stool collection test and enteric plexus loss was also detected. Intestinal phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-α-syn), inflammation, and S100 were assessed using western blotting. Association between Toll-like receptor 2(TLR2) and GI function was validated by Pearson's correlations. Immunofluorescence was applied to show co-localizations of intestinal p-α-syn, inflammation, and Schwann cells (SCs). CU-CPT22 (3 mg/kg, a TLR1/TLR2 inhibitor) was adopted then. Success in modeling, damaged GI neuron and function, and activated intestinal p-α-syn, inflammation, and SCs responses were observed in MPTP group, with TLR2 related to GI damage. Increased p-α-syn and inflammatory factors were shown in SCs of myenteron for MPTP mice. Recovered fecal water content and depression of inflammation, p-α-syn deposition, and SCs activity were noticed after TLR2 suppression. The study investigates a novel mechanism of PD GI autonomic dysfunction, demonstrating that p-α-syn accumulation and TLR2 signaling of SCs were involved in disrupted gut homeostasis and treatments targeting TLR2-mediated pathway might be a possible therapy for PD.
