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

Synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are neurodegenerative diseases with shared clinical and pathological features. Aggregates of alpha-synuclein (αsyn) phosphorylated at serine 129 (PSER129) are hallmarks of synucleinopathies, which, for PD/DLB, are found predominantly in neurons, whereas in MSA, aggregates are primarily found in oligodendroglia. It remains unclear whether the distinct pathological presentations of PD/DLB and MSA are manifestations of unique or shared pathological processes. Using the in-situ proximity labeling technique of biotinylation by antibody recognition (BAR), we compared aggregated αsyn-interactomes (BAR-PSER129) and total αsyn-interactomes (BAR-MJFR1) between MSA (n = 5) and PD/DLB (n = 10) in forebrain and midbrain structures. Comparison between MSA and PD/DLB-enriched proteins revealed 79 PD/DLB-differentially abundant proteins and only three MSA-differentially abundant proteins (CBR1, CRYAB, and GFAP). Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that vesicle/SNARE-associated pathways dominated PD/DLB interactions, whereas MSA was strongly enriched for metabolic/catabolic, iron, and cellular oxidant detoxification pathways. A subnetwork of cytosolic antioxidant enzymes called peroxiredoxins drove cellular detoxification pathway enrichment in MSA. A network of 26 proteins, including neuronal-specific proteins (e.g., SYNGR3) with HSPA8 at the core, was shared between MSA and DLB/PD. Extracellular exosome pathways were universally enriched regardless of the disease or BAR target protein. In conclusion, synucleinopathies have divergent and convergent αsyn-aggregate interactions, indicating unique and shared pathogenic mechanisms. MSA uniquely involves oxidant detoxification processes in glial cells, while vesicular processes in neurons dominate PD/DLB. Shared interactions, specifically SYNGR3, between MSA and PD/DLB suggest that neuronal axons are the origin of both diseases. In conclusion, we provide αsyn protein interaction maps for two distinct synucleinopathies.
