Protocol for using an ELISA to detect total α-synuclein levels in Drosophila melanogaster lines expressing human α-synuclein point mutations.
Article in STAR protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In Parkinson's disease (PD), alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation causes neuronal dysfunction and death, particularly of dopaminergic neurons, which is central to PD symptoms and progression. Here, we present a protocol for using a sandwich ELISA to quantify total α-syn levels in various Drosophila melanogaster genotypes expressing human α-syn point mutations associated with PD. We describe steps for aging flies, collecting fly heads, and preparing samples. We then detail procedures for ELISA setup and microplate reader analysis.
