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

Exposure of cells to stress, particularly oxidative stress, leads to misfolding of proteins and, if they are not refolded or degraded, to cytoplasmic protein aggregates. Protein aggregates are characteristic features of a variety of chronic toxic and degenerative diseases, such as Mallory bodies (MBs) in hepatocytes in alcoholic and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, neurofibrillary tangles in neurons in Alzheimer's, and Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease. Using 2D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, we identified p62 as a novel MB component. p62 and cytokeratins (CKs) are major MB constituents; HSP 70, HSP 25, and ubiquitinated CKs are also present. These proteins characterize MBs as a prototype of disease-associated cytoplasmic inclusions generated by stress-induced protein misfolding. As revealed by transfection of tissue culture cells overexpressed p62 did not induce aggregation of regular CK filaments but selectively bound to misfolded and ubiquitinated CKs. The general role of p62 in the cellular response to misfolded proteins was substantiated by detection of p62 in other cytoplasmic inclusions, such as neurofibrillary tangles, Lewy bodies, Rosenthal fibers, intracytoplasmic hyaline bodies in hepatocellular carcinoma, and alpha1-antitrypsin aggregates. The presence of p62 along with other stress proteins and ubiquitin in cytoplasmic inclusions indicates deposition as aggregates as a third line of defense against misfolded proteins in addition to refolding and degradation.
