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

At present there is a poor understanding of the events that lead up to neuronal apoptosis that occurs in neurodegenerative diseases and following acute ischemic episodes. Apoptosis is critical for the elimination of unwanted neurons within the developing nervous system. The Bcl-2 family of proteins contains pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins that regulate the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. There is increasing interest in a subfamily of the Bcl-2 family, the BH3-only proteins, and their pro-apoptotic effects within neurons. Recently ischemic and seizure-induced neuronal injury has been shown to result in the activation of the BH3-only protein, Bid. This protein is cleaved and the truncated protein (tBid) translocates to the mitochondria. The translocation of tBid to the mitochondria is associated with the activation of outer mitochondrial membrane proteins Bax/Bak and the release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria. ER stress also has been implicated as a factor for the induction of apoptosis in ischemic neuronal injury. The induction of ER stress in hippocampal neurons has been shown to activate expression of bb3/PUMA, a member of the BH3-only gene family. Activation of PUMA is associated with the activation and clustering of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bax and the loss of cytochrome C from the mitochondria.
