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

α-Synucleinopathies are marked by persistent neuroinflammation and disabling non-motor symptoms involving nucleus accumbens (NAc) dysfunction, yet the neuroimmune mechanisms linking microglial activation to accumbal synaptic pathology remain poorly understood. Here, we identify α1-antitrypsin (AAT) as a previously unrecognized modulator of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R)-associated signaling in α-syn pathology. An acute transcriptomic screen revealed prominent induction of the Serpina1 gene family, while primary-microglial and chronic AAV-α-syn experiments showed that Cnr2 deficiency amplified Serpina1/AAT responses, consistent with an insufficient compensatory reaction to persistent inflammation. Molecular docking, reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation, and surface plasmon resonance provided complementary evidence supporting an AAT-CB2R association under the respective assay conditions. Functionally, AAT reduced the α-syn-associated elevation of intracellular cAMP in an AM630-sensitive manner and attenuated ATP-evoked Ca
