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 amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein (α-syn) are crucial in the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD), with the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of its C-terminal playing a key role in interacting with receptors like LAG3 and RAGE, facilitating pathological neuronal spread and inflammation. In this study, we identified Givinostat (GS) as an effective inhibitor that disrupts the interaction of α-syn fibrils with receptors such as LAG3 and RAGE through high-throughput screening. By exploring the structure-activity relationship and optimizing GS, we developed several lead compounds, including GSD-16-24. Utilizing solution-state and solid-state NMR, along with cryo-EM techniques, we demonstrated that GSD-16-24 binds directly to the C-terminal IDR of α-syn monomer and fibril, preventing the fibril from binding to the receptors. Furthermore, GSD-16-24 significantly inhibits the association of α-syn fibrils with membrane receptors, thereby reducing neuronal propagation and pro-inflammatory effects of α-syn fibrils. Our findings introduce a novel approach to mitigate the pathological effects of α-syn fibrils by targeting their IDR with small molecules, offering potential leads for the development of clinical drugs to treat PD.
