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

The RNA binding G3BP1 is depleted in several neurodegenerative diseases, yet its functional consequences at the cellular level remain poorly understood. While best known for its critical role in stress granule formation, we demonstrate that G3BP1 also stabilises the COPI vesicle protein beta-COP by promoting its interaction with the deubiquitinase USP10. G3BP1 depletion disrupts this interaction leading to increased ubiquitination of beta-COP, which accelerates its proteasomal degradation. This leads to compromised Golgi structure and function, and impaired lysosomal homeostasis, which causes defective autophagic flux. Consequently, the autophagic clearance of α-synuclein, a protein that can drive Parkinson's disease (PD), is significantly slowed. Importantly, we observe a concurrent reduction of both G3BP1 and beta-COP protein levels in brain sections from PD and dementia with Lewy Body (DLB) patients and from a PD mouse model. These findings reveal a novel mechanistic link between G3BP1, vesicular trafficking, and proteostasis in neurodegeneration.
