Reduced Palmitoylation of SQSTM1/p62 in Huntington Disease Is Associated With Impaired Autophagy.
Article in FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Disruption of autophagy has emerged as a common feature in many neurodegenerative diseases. Autophagy is a membrane-dependent pathway that requires many key regulators to quickly localize on and off membranes during induction, promoting membrane fusion. Previously, our bioinformatic approaches have shown that autophagy and Huntington disease (HD) are enriched in palmitoylated proteins. Palmitoylation involves the reversible addition of long-chain fatty acids to promote membrane binding. Herein, we show that inhibition of palmitoylation regulates the abundance of several key regulators of autophagy and leads to a partial block of autophagic flux. We confirm that the autophagy receptor SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) is palmitoylated and directed to the lysosome. Importantly, we report that SQSTM1 palmitoylation is significantly reduced in HD patient and mouse model brains. This finding reveals a novel mechanism contributing to the generation of empty autophagosomes previously seen in HD models and patient-derived cells.
