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 pathological hallmarks of various neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease prominently feature the accumulation of misfolded proteins and neuroinflammation. Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) has emerged as a distinct autophagic process that coordinates the lysosomal degradation of specific proteins bearing the pentapeptide motif Lys-Phe-Glu-Arg-Gln (KFERQ), a recognition target for the cytosolic chaperone HSC70. Beyond its role in protein quality control, recent research underscores the intimate interplay between CMA and immune regulation in neurodegeneration. In this review, we illuminate the molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways governing CMA. We further discuss the potential roles of CMA in maintaining neuronal proteostasis and modulating neuroinflammation mediated by glial cells. Finally, we summarize the recent advancements in CMA modulators, emphasizing the significance of activating CMA for the therapeutic intervention in neurodegenerative diseases.
