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

It has been reported that mitochondria-independent or mitochondria-dependent (type I/II) Fas signaling pathways in leukemia cells depend on the amount of active caspase-8. However, Bid molecules, which could not be cleaved in type I cells, could be effectively cleaved by recombinant active caspase-8 in vitro. The cleavage of recombinant Bid by recombinant active caspase-8 could be blocked by anti-p10 and anti-p18 specific antibodies. Fas receptors could be similarly internalized into cytoplasm in type I and type II cells. Interestingly, p10 subunit of active caspase-8 could be detected in both type I and II cells, while p18 subunit of active caspase-8 could be detected only in type II cells but not in type I cells. These results demonstrated that p18 subunit was necessary for Bid cleavage and the mitochondria pathway might be dependent on the release of p18 subunit from active caspase-8.
