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

Fibrillar aggregates of the natively disordered protein α-synuclein (αS) are hallmarks of Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders termed synucleinopathies. Here, we used micromap (μMap) photoproximity labeling to determine the interactomes of αS monomers and fibrils in mouse brain lysate to better understand both the loss of healthy function and gain of toxic function aspects of synucleinopathies. Several αS variants were synthesized and characterized, showing that the small size (1 kDa) of the Ir catalyst attached through a Cys-maleimide linkage makes it minimally perturbing to αS, with a narrow labeling radius that allows one to identify interactome differences between different regions of αS. Monomer and fibril interactomes were compared to each other and to previous proximity labeling data sets for validation, and several examples of further investigations are demonstrated, including Western blotting, affinity pulldowns, fluorescence and super-resolution microscopy, and μMap in primary neurons.
