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 development of age-related neurodegenerative diseases is associated with the accumulation of damaged and misfolded proteins. Such proteins are eliminated from cells by proteolytic systems, mainly by 20S proteasomes, whose activity declines with age. Its stimulation has been recognized as a promising approach to delay the onset or ameliorate the symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders. Here we present peptidomimetics that are very effective in stimulating the proteasome in biochemical assays and in cell culture. They are stable in human plasma and capable of penetrating the cell membranes. The activators demonstrated the ability to enhance h20S degradation of α-synuclein and tau, whose aggregates are involved in the development of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, respectively. The peptidomimetics did not show cytotoxicity to HEK293T and primary hippocampal cells. Additionally, these compounds were highly effective in reducing the amount of phosphorylated α-synuclein aggregates in hippocampal neurons in a mouse embryonic cell model.
