Modulation of biomolecular condensation of alpha-synuclein variants by eprodisate.
Article in Communications chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aggregation of α-synuclein (α-SYN) into amyloid structures is closely associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Prevention of α-SYN aggregation has been validated as a key strategy to manage PD. α-SYN undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) via biomolecular condensation that facilitates nucleation and amyloid formation in liquid droplets. In this work, the effect of eprodisate (a glycosaminoglycan mimetic) on the formation of biomolecular condensates by α-SYN and its pathology-relevant variants has been investigated. Eprodisate affected the formation of α-SYN condensates, increased the fluidity inside droplets and inhibited α-SYN from turning into amyloid. It also attenuated aggregation of α-SYN variants in the presence of chondroitin sulphate. Eprodisate inhibited phase separation, hydrogel formation and amyloid aggregation of PD-related α-SYN A30P, α-SYN S129D and C-terminal truncated variants. It reduced oxidative stress, decreased α-SYN-positive aggregates and increased cell survival. These findings show that eprodisate may be explored further as an ameliorative therapy in PD.
