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 mechanisms responsible for the accumulation of Aβ plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, composed of phosphorylated Tau protein, in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain a mystery. Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) largely contributes to abnormal protein aggregation. A cascade of ubiquitinating enzymes promotes protein ubiquitination, while deubiquitylases (DUBs) regulate its reversal. Disruptions in ubiquitination and deubiquitination processes result in abnormal protein aggregation and the formation of inclusion bodies, ultimately leading to neuronal damage. Recent studies have highlighted the significant role of protein ubiquitination and deubiquitination in the pathogenesis of AD. E3 ubiquitin ligases, which facilitate protein ubiquitination, are beneficial for Aβ clearance, synaptic function, gap junction maintenance, mitophagy, and neuroinflammation. Conversely, DUBs, responsible for removing ubiquitin from substrate proteins, inhibit Aβ and Tau degradation while promoting neuroinflammation in neurons. This review provides a thorough overview of the involvement of E3 ubiquitin ligases and DUBs in AD, highlighting their diverse roles in aspects of pathophysiological processes.
