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

Oxidative stress is a major cause of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we demonstrated that c-Abl plays an important role in oxidative stress-induced neuronal cell death. C-Abl, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, was activated in an 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride (MPTP)-induced acute PD model. Conditional knockout of c-Abl in neurons or treatment of mice with STI571, a c-Abl family kinase inhibitor, reduced the loss of dopaminergic neurons and ameliorated the locomotive defects induced by short-term MPTP treatment. By combining the SILAC (stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture) technique with other biochemical methods, we identified p38α as a major substrate of c-Abl both in vitro and in vivo and c-Abl-mediated phosphorylation is critical for the dimerization of p38α. Furthermore, p38α inhibition mitigated the MPTP-induced loss of dopaminergic neurons. Taken together, these data suggested that c-Abl-p38α signaling may represent a therapeutic target for PD.
