An Overview of the Pathophysiological Mechanisms of 3-Nitropropionic Acid (3-NPA) as a Neurotoxin in a Huntington's Disease Model and Its Relevance to Drug Discovery and Development.
Review in Neurochemical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Animal models are used to better understand the various mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of diseases and explore potential pathways that will aid in discovering therapeutic targets. 3-Nitropropionic Acid (3-NPA) is a neurotoxin used to induce Huntington's disease (HD)-like symptoms in experimental animals. The 3-NPA is a fungus toxin that impairs the complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) activity of the mitochondria and reduces ATP synthesis, leading to excessive production of free radicals resulting in the degeneration of GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum. This is characterized by motor impairments a key clinical manifestation of HD. 3-NPA has the potential to alter several cellular processes, including mitochondrial functions, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation mimicking HD-like pathogenic conditions in animals. This review strives to provide a new insight towards the 3-NPA induced molecular dysfunctioning in developing an animal model of HD. Moreover, we summarise several preclinical studies that support the use of the 3-NPA-induced models for drug discovery and development in HD. This review is a collection of various articles that were published from 1977 to 2022 on Pubmed (1639), Web of Science (2139), and Scopus (2681), which are related to the 3-NPA induced animal model.
