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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is diagnosed clinically by motor symptoms, with no clinical molecular diagnostic test currently available. By the time motor symptoms manifest, significant irreversible neurodegeneration would have already occurred, limiting the effectiveness of the therapies. Recent identification of pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates in the gastrointestinal tract of prodromal PD patients offers a potential avenue for early diagnosis. This study aims to explore specific fluorescence labeling of α-syn aggregates in the gastrointestinal tract using a peptide-based probe for early indication of PD risk. We used primary hippocampal neuronal cells and wild-type mouse tissues with the addition of preformed α-syn fibrils (PFFs) to identify the most suitable probe (
