SIGMAR1 Confers Innate Resilience against Neurodegeneration.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1) is one of a kind: a receptor chaperone protein. This 223 amino acid-long protein is enriched at the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM), a specialized microdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum that is structurally and functionally connected to the mitochondria. As a receptor, SIGMAR1 binds a wide spectrum of ligands. Numerous molecules targeting SIGMAR1 are currently in pre-clinical or clinical development. Interestingly, the range of pathologies covered by these studies is broad, especially with regard to neurodegenerative disorders. Upon activation, SIGMAR1 can translocate and interact with other proteins, mostly at the MAM but also in other organelles, which allows SIGMAR1 to affect many cellular functions. During these interactions, SIGMAR1 exhibits chaperone protein behavior by participating in the folding and stabilization of its partner. In this short communication, we will shed light on how SIGMAR1 confers protection against neurodegeneration to the cells of the nervous system and why this ability makes SIGMAR1 a multifunctional therapeutic prospect.
