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

Several observations have been reported in the last years indicating that ceramide may activate the mitochondrial route of apoptosis. We show here that on addition of either C2- or C16-ceramide to mitochondria isolated from rat heart and suspended in a saline medium, release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) from the intermembrane space takes place. The release process is Ca2+ -independent and is not inhibited by Cyclosporin A (CsA). For the protein release process to occur, the presence of an oxidizable substrate is required. When mitochondria are suspended in sucrose instead of potassium medium, only short chain C2-ceramide causes cytochrome c release through a Ca2+ -dependent and CsA sensitive mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) mechanism. The latter effect appears to be related to the membrane potential dissipating ability exhibited by short chain C2-ceramide.
