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

Previous work has identified sphingosine kinase-1 (SK1) as a substrate for the cysteine protease cathepsin B in vitro. In this study, the mechanism of SK1 cleavage by cathepsin B was investigated. We identified two initial cleavage sites for the protease, the first at histidine 122 and the second at arginine 199. Mutation analysis showed that replacement of histidine 122 with a tyrosine maintained the activity of SK1 while significantly reducing cleavage by cathepsin B at the initial cleavage site. The efficacy of cleavage of SK1 at arginine 199, however, was not affected. These studies demonstrate that SK1 is cleaved by cathepsin B in a sequential manner after basic amino acids, and that the initial cleavages at the two identified sites occur independently of each other.
