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

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is implicated in neuronal death through a causal role, and precise mechanisms have not been unambiguously defined. We show that short hairpin RNA (shRNA) knockdown of GSK-3beta, but not GSK-3alpha, protects cerebellar granule neurons from trophic-deprivation-induced death. Using compartment-targeted inhibitors of the Wnt-regulated GSK-3 pool, NLS-FRAT1, NES-FRAT1, and axin-GSK-3-interacting domain (axin-GID), we locate proapoptotic GSK-3 action to the cytosol and regulation of Bim protein turnover despite constitutive cycling of GSK-3 between the cytosol and nucleus, revealed by leptomycin B. We examine the importance of Ser21/9 (GSK-3alpha/beta) phosphorylation on proapoptotic GSK-3 function. Neurons isolated from GSK-3alpha/beta(S21A/S9A) knock-in mice survive normally and are fully sensitive to trophic-deprivation-induced death. Nonetheless, inhibition of GSK-3 catalytic activity with lithium or SB216763 protects GSK-3alpha/beta(S21A/S9A) neurons from death. This indicates that dephosphorylation of GSK-3beta/Ser9 and GSK-3alpha/Ser21 is insufficient for GSK-3 proapoptotic function and that another level of regulation is required. Gel filtration reveals a stress-induced loss of neuronal GSK-3beta from a high-molecular-mass complex with a concomitant decrease in axin-bound GSK-3beta. These data imply that Wnt-regulated GSK-3beta plays a nonredundant role in trophic-deprivation-induced death of neurons.
