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

Although tissue-specific apoptosis in the exocrine glands in estrogen-deficient mice may contribute to the development of autoimmune exocrinopathy, the molecular mechanism responsible for tissue-specific apoptosis remains obscure. Here we show that RbAp48 overexpression induces p53-mediated apoptosis in the exocrine glands caused by estrogen deficiency. RbAp48-inducible transfectant results in rapid apoptosis with p53 phosphorylation (Ser9) and alpha-fodrin cleavage. Reducing the expression of RbAp48 through small interfering RNA inhibits the apoptosis. Prominent RbAp48 expression with apoptosis was observed in the exocrine glands of C57BL/6 ovariectomized (OVX) mice but not in OVX estrogen receptor alpha(-/-), p53(-/-), and E2F-1(-/-) mice. Indeed, transgenic expression of the RbAp48 gene induced apoptosis in the exocrine glands but not in other organs. These findings indicate that estrogen deficiency initiates p53-mediated apoptosis in the exocrine gland cells through RbAp48 overexpression and exerts a possible gender-based risk of autoimmune exocrinopathy in postmenopausal women.
