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

The caspases, first discovered almost a decade ago, are intracellular cysteine proteases which have been shown to play an essential role in the initiation and execution phases of apoptotic cell death. Numerous strategies for the activation and inhibition of these 'killer' proteases have evolved, including the regulation of caspase expression and function at the transcriptional and post-translational level, as well as the expression of viral and cellular inhibitors of caspases. Emerging evidence in recent years has also implicated the caspases in various, nonapoptotic aspects of cellular physiology, such as cytokine processing during inflammation, differentiation of progenitor cells during erythropoiesis and lens fiber development, and proliferation of T lymphocytes, thus attesting to the pleiotropic functions of these proteases. The present review aims to discuss the multiple roles of the mammalian caspases with particular emphasis on their activation and regulation in cells of leukemic origin and the attendant possibilities of therapeutic intervention.
