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

beta-Synemin was previously identified as an alpha-dystrobrevin-interacting protein in muscle. To better understand its function in neural tissue, in situ and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to identify where the synemin isoforms are expressed in the spinal cord of C57BL/6 and dystrophin-deficient (mdx) C57BL/10 mice. These analyses show that synemin transcript and its encoded protein colocalize in the anterior horn cells and that no differences in synemin expression were found in nerve tissue from C57BL/6 or mdx mice. The expression of synemin mRNA and protein predominantly in the anterior horn cells suggests that synemin performs an essential function in those cells. Because synemin is more highly expressed in the midbrain and pons, its function in neurological cells was further pursued by identifying coexpressed proteins in cells from those regions of the brain. These results show that neurons that express synemin also express tryptophan hydroxylase-1, a marker of serotoninergic nerve fibers. Muscle Nerve, 2009.
