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 14-3-3 protein family consists of acidic 30-kd proteins expressed at high levels in neurons of the central nervous system. Seven isoforms form a dimeric complex that acts as a molecular chaperone that interacts with key signaling components. Recent studies indicated that the 14-3-3 protein identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of various neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS) is a marker for extensive brain destruction. However, it remains unknown whether the 14-3-3 protein plays an active role in the pathological process of MS. To investigate the differential expression of seven 14-3-3 isoforms in MS lesions, brain tissues of four progressive cases were immunolabeled with a panel of isoform-specific antibodies. Reactive astrocytes in chronic demyelinating lesions intensely expressed beta, epsilon, zeta, eta, and sigma isoforms, among which the epsilon isoform is a highly specific marker for reactive astrocytes. Furthermore, protein overlay, mass spectrometry, immunoprecipitation, and double-immunolabeling analysis showed that the 14-3-3 protein interacts with both vimentin and glial fibrillary acidic protein in cultured human astrocytes. These results suggest that the 14-3-3 protein plays an organizing role in the intermediate filament network in reactive astrocytes at the site of demyelinating lesions in MS.
