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

A hallmark of Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive degeneration of neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, hypothalamus, and thalamus. Although the exact etiology of irreversible neuronal degeneration is unclear, a growing body of experimental evidence indicates that PD could be triggered by the abrupt aggregation of α-synuclein (α-Syn), a small membrane protein that is responsible for cell vesicle trafficking. Phospholipids uniquely alter the rate of α-Syn aggregation and, consequently, change the cytotoxicity of α-Syn oligomers and fibrils. However, the role of cholesterol in the aggregation of α-Syn remains unclear. In this study, we used
