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

backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. UBC9 is related to the formation of several cancers. Nevertheless, the function of UBC9 in PD and the potential mechanisms are vague.

methodsMPP⁺-induced SH-SY5Y cells and MPTP-treated C57BL/6 mice were applied to induce PD models. Cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis were measured using CCK-8, EdU and Annexin V/PI staining, respectively. JC-1 staining and fluorescent probes DCFH-DA were employed to measure mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS production. The SOD, GSH and MDA content were determined by the commercially kits. SUMOylation of PINK1 were predicted by SUMOplot and verified by co-IP/Western blot. Mitophagy-related proteins, SUMO enzymes, and TH were analyzed by qRT-PCR/Western blot. LC3 expression was detected via immunofluorescence staining. Transmission electron microscopy was performed to detect autophagy. MPTP-induced brain injury was evaluated using Nissl staining, IHC and TUNEL assay. Motor function was observed via open field test and pole test.
