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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons originating in the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta and projecting to other brain regions, giving rise to motor and non-motor symptoms. Despite significant progress in understanding the molecular and cellular disruptions associated with PD, there remains an unmet clinical need for effective therapies. In this study, proteomic analysis of the olfactory tract (OT) in controls with no known neurological history (n = 17) and PD subjects (n = 21) revealed Lewy body disease (LBD) stage-dependent proteostatic impairment, accompanied by progressive modulation of the alpha-synuclein (α-syn) functional interactome. Differential OT omic profiles were used in a computational drug repurposing approach, revealing the HDAC1 inhibitor pyroxamide as one of the top drug candidates with in silico potential to restore altered OT omic profiles. To explore the potential therapeutic effects of pyroxamide, in vitro assays were performed using α-syn preformed fibrils (PFFs). Pyroxamide treatment reduced α-syn PFFs-induced toxicity in olfactory epithelial, microglial and dopaminergic neuronal cell lines, producing a protective effect against hydrogen peroxide-induced damage exclusively in brain-derived cell types. Mechanistically, the mitigating effects of pyroxamide were attributable, at least in part, to the regulation of Bax-1 and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) protein expression, along with alterations in the mRNA levels of NEF2L2, IL1B, and TNF-α. These findings confirm the suitability of omics profiles in drug repurposing workflows against PD, offering valuable insights into the potential of HDAC1 inhibitors in the therapeutic pipeline of PD.
