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

α-Synuclein and LRRK2 are associated with both familial and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD), although the mechanistic link between these two proteins has remained elusive. Treating cells with lysosomotropic drugs causes the recruitment of LRRK2 and its substrate Rab10 onto overloaded lysosomes and induces extracellular release of lysosomal contents. Here we show that lysosomal overload elicits the release of insoluble α-synuclein from macrophages and microglia loaded with α-synuclein fibrils. This release occurred specifically in macrophage lineage cells, was dependent on the LRRK2-Rab10 pathway and involved exosomes. Also, the uptake of α-synuclein fibrils enhanced the LRRK2 phosphorylation of Rab10, which was accompanied by an increased recruitment of LRRK2 and Rab10 onto lysosomal surface. Our data collectively suggest that α-synuclein fibrils taken up in lysosomes activate the LRRK2-Rab10 pathway, which in turn upregulates the extracellular release of α-synuclein aggregates, leading to a vicious cycle that could enhance α-synuclein propagation in PD pathology.
