GM1 Reduced the Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Suppressing α-Syn Through Activating Autophagy.
Article in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that cannot be cured. The ASD rat model was developed in this study to demonstrate the role and mechanism of ganglioside GM1 (GM1). Rats were given valproic acid (VPA) to create the ASD rat model. The rats' behaviors were assessed using the Y-maze test, open-field test, three-chamber social interaction test, and Morris water maze test. Relative levels of glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were quantitated using relative kits. Nissl, TUNEL, immunofluorescent, and immunohistochemistry staining techniques were used. GM1 treatment improved the ASD model rats' behavior disorders, including locomotor activity and exploratory behavior, social interaction, learning and memory capacity, and repetitive behavior. Following GM1 injection, striatal neurons grew and apoptosis decreased. GM1 reduced the excessively elevated α-Syn in ASD by encouraging autophagy. The behavior disorder of ASD model rats was exacerbated by autophagy inhibition, which also increased α-Syn levels. By increasing autophagy, GM1 reduced α-Syn levels and, ultimately, improved behavioral abnormalities in ASD model rats.
