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

Myelinating glial cells exhibit a spectacular cytoarchitecture, because they polarize on multiple axes and domains. How this occurs is essentially unknown. The dystroglycan-dystrophin complex is required for the function of myelin-forming Schwann cells. Similar to other tissues, the dystroglycan complex in Schwann cells localizes with different dystrophin family members in specific domains, thus promoting polarization. We show here that cleavage of dystroglycan by matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, an event that is considered pathological in most tissues, is finely and dynamically regulated in normal nerves and modulates dystroglycan complex composition and the size of Schwann cell compartments. In contrast, in nerves of Dy(2j/2j) mice, a model of laminin 211 deficiency, metalloproteinases 2 and 9 are increased, causing excessive dystroglycan cleavage and abnormal compartments. Pharmacological inhibition of cleavage rescues the cytoplasmic defects of Dy(2j/2j) Schwann cells. Thus, regulated cleavage may be a general mechanism to regulate protein complex composition in physiological conditions, whereas unregulated processing is pathogenic and a target for treatment in disease.
