A stress-dependent TDP-43 SUMOylation program preserves neuronal function.
Article in Molecular neurodegeneration, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are overwhelmingly linked to TDP-43 dysfunction. Mutations in TDP-43 are rare, indicating that the progressive accumulation of exogenous factors - such as cellular stressors - converge on TDP-43 to play a key role in disease pathogenesis. Post translational modifications such as SUMOylation play essential roles in response to such exogenous stressors. We therefore set out to understand how SUMOylation may regulate TDP-43 in health and disease. We find that TDP-43 is regulated dynamically via SUMOylation in response to cellular stressors. When this process is blocked in vivo, we note age-dependent TDP-43 pathology and sex-specific behavioral deficits linking TDP-43 SUMOylation with aging and disease. We further find that SUMOylation is correlated with human aging and disease states. Collectively, this work presents TDP-43 SUMOylation as an early physiological response to cellular stress, disruption of which may confer a risk for TDP-43 proteinopathy.
