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 drs gene was originally isolated as a suppressor against v-src transformation. Expression of drs mRNA was markedly downregulated in a variety of human cancer cell lines and tissues, suggesting that the drs gene acts as a tumor suppressor. In this study, we found that ectopic expression of the Drs protein induced apoptosis in human cancer cell lines. Analyses using deletion mutants of drs revealed that both the C-terminal region and the three consensus repeats in the N-terminal region are essential for the induction of apoptosis. Caspase-12, -9, and -3 were sequentially activated by drs, and specific inhibitors of caspase-3 and -9 suppressed drs-induced apoptosis. The release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm was not observed in apoptosis by drs, suggesting that the mitochondrial pathway does not mediate drs-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that the Drs protein can interact with ASY/Nogo-B/RTN-x(S), an apoptosis-inducing protein localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, and that coexpression of these genes increased the efficiency of apoptosis. These results indicated that Drs induces apoptosis by a novel pathway mediated by ASY/Nogo-B/RTN-x(S), caspase-12, -9, and -3.
