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

backgroundDysregulated interferon-alpha/beta-receptor 1 (IFNAR1) signaling was recently identified to contribute to the development of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) into PD with Dementia (PDD). The molecular, cellular, and phenotypic impacts of brain IFNAR1 loss in aging have not been explored in vivo, which may reveal novel disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

methodsSingle nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), functional metabolic mapping, flow cytometry, quantitative PCR (qPCR), in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and behavior analyses were used to investigate the molecular, cellular, and phenotypic impacts of IFNAR1 loss in vivo.

resultsBaseline IFNAR1 expression varies among major brain cell types, including neurons and astrocytes, and is differentially affected in PD and Lewy Body Dementia patients compared to unaffected controls. Neuron- and astrocyte-specific transcriptomic and proteomic alterations in Ifnar1

conclusionsIFNAR1 plays a crucial role in brain and mitochondrial homeostasis, loss of which results in neurodegeneration and neuropathology resembling PDD. Differential neuropathology and behavioral outcomes upon neuronal vs astrocytic IFNAR1 loss emphasizes a need for understanding neurodegenerative pathophysiology in cell-specific contexts. Trial registration Not applicable as the study does not include a clinical trial.
