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

STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) family transcription factors are critical regulators of the development and differentiation of many cell types. STAT isoforms are generated by alternative splicing, but have also been suggested to be generated post-transcriptionally. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Schuster and colleagues have identified cathepsin G as the protease that cleaves full-length STAT5 (STAT5alpha) to generate a C-terminally truncated form in immature myeloid cells. However, the authors argue that this proteolytically generated isoform does not occur naturally in vivo; rather, it is artificially generated by cathepsin G during the preparation of cell extracts. This new evidence calls into question the physiological significance of this putative isoform and forces the general re-examination of proteolytically generated STAT isoforms.
