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

Apoptotic machinery designed for cell's organized self-destruction involve different systems of proteases which cleave vital proteins and disassemble nuclear and cytoplasmic structures, committing the cell to death. The most studied apoptotic proteolytic system is the caspase family, but calpains and the proteasome could play important roles as well. Alzheimer's disease associated presenilins showed to be a substrate for such proteolytic systems, being processed early in several apoptotic models, and recent data suggest that alternative presenilin fragments could regulate cell survival. Mutations in genes encoding presenilins proved to sensitize neurons to apoptosis by different mechanisms e.g. increased caspase-3 activation, oxyradicals production and calcium signaling dysregulation. Here we review the data involving presenilins in apoptosis and discuss a possible role of presenilins in the regulation of apoptotic biochemical machinery.
