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

The neuron-specific tyrosine phosphatase STriatal Enriched Phosphatase (STEP) is emerging as an important mediator of glutamatergic transmission in the brain. STEP is also thought to be involved in the etiology of neurodegenerative disorders that are linked to oxidative stress such as Alzheimer's disease and cerebral ischemia. However, the mechanism by which oxidative stress can modulate STEP activity is still unclear. In this study, we have investigated whether dimerization may play a role in regulating the activity of STEP. Our findings show that STEP(61), the membrane associated isoform, can undergo homodimerization under basal conditions in neurons. Dimerization of STEP(61) involves intermolecular disulfide bond formation between two cysteine residues (Cys 65 and Cys 76 respectively) present in the hydrophobic region at the N-terminus specific to STEP(61). Oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide leads to a significant increase in the formation of dimers and higher-order oligomers of STEP(61). Using two substrates, para-nitrophenylphosphate and extracellular-regulated kinase MAPK we further demonstrate that oligomerization leads to a significant reduction in its enzymatic activity.
