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

Ceramide, a bioactive lipid, has been extensively studied and identified as an essential bioactive molecule in mediating cellular signaling pathways. Sphingomyelinase (SMase), (EC 3.1.4.12) catalyzes the cleavage of the phosphodiester bond in sphingomyelin (SM) to form ceramide and phosphocholine. In mammals, three Mg(2+)-dependent neutral SMases termed nSMase1, nSMase2 and nSMase3 have been identified. Among the three enzymes, nSMase2 is the most studied and has been implicated in multiple physiological responses including cell growth arrest, apoptosis, development and inflammation. In this review, we summarize recent findings for the cloned nSMases and discuss the insights for their roles in regulation ceramide metabolism and cellular signaling pathway.
