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

c-Jun is a transcription factor that is involved in various cellular events, including apoptotic cell death. For example, phosphorylation of c-Jun is one of the earliest biochemical changes detected in dying sympathetic neurons after NGF deprivation in vitro. However, currently, it is not known whether a similar molecular event is involved in the developmental programmed cell death (PCD) of neurons in vivo. We observed that only a subpopulation of motoneurons (MNs) exhibit c-Jun phosphorylation during the PCD period in chick [embryonic day 5 (E5)-E12] and mouse (E13-E18) embryos. Experimental perturbation of MN survival-promoting signals by limb bud removal (reduced signals) or by activity blockade (increased signals) in the chick embryo demonstrated that the presence of those signals is negatively correlated with the number of c-Jun-phosphorylated MNs. This suggests that insufficient survival signals (e.g., neurotrophic factors) may induce c-Jun phosphorylation of MNs in vivo. Consistent with the idea that c-Jun phosphorylation is a reversible event during normal PCD of MNs, we found that c-Jun phosphorylation was transiently observed in a subpopulation of mouse MNs rescued from PCD by deletion of the proapoptotic gene Bax. Inhibition of c-Jun signaling significantly reduced MN death in chick embryo, indicating that activation of c-Jun signaling is necessary for the PCD of MNs. Together, c-Jun phosphorylation appears to be required for the initiation of an early and reversible event in the intracellular PCD cascade in vivo after loss of survival-promoting signals such as neurotrophic factors.
