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

We have used the mammalian post-natal cerebellar cortex as a model to dissect out the molecular morphology of neuronal apoptosis in a well-defined population of central neurons: the cerebellar granule cells. By immunocytochemistry, in situ labeling of apoptotic cells, and analysis of cerebellar slices following particle-mediated gene transfer (biolistics), we have studied the relationship of cell death and cleavage of caspase 3, a key molecule in the execution of apoptosis, and monitored caspase 3 activation in living cells. Our results demonstrate the existence of caspase dependent and independent apoptotic pathways affecting the cerebellar granule cells at different stages of their life. Apoptosis of proliferating precursors and young pre-migratory cells occurs in the absence of caspase 3 cleavage, whereas cell death of post-mitotic post-migratory neurons is directly linked to caspase 3 activation. Data obtained from cerebellar cortex can be generalized to outline a more comprehensive picture of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal death not only in development, but also in a number of pathological conditions leading to neuronal loss.
