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

To investigate ANT1 and NF-κB expression in inclusion body myositis (IBM) muscle and to verify their possible roles in the pathogenesis of the disease, we collected muscle samples from five patients with IBM, polimyositis (PM) and controls. p65 form of NF-κB was analyzed using immunocytochemistry, Western blot and EMSA. Western blot of ANT1 was performed and confirmed by gene expression study. Mann-Whitney test was used for groups comparisons. NF-κB (p65) was found over-expressed both with western blot and EMSA, either in IBM or PM patients versus controls (p < 0.01). Expression of ANT1 were lower in IBM samples versus both PM and controls (p < 0.01). ANT1 reduction and NF-κB over-expression in IBM muscle could explain the lack of apoptosis in such disease. Normal ANT1 expression in PM could be related to the scarcity of mitochondrial abnormalities in the disease, but it could also suggest that these two conditions diverge in activating different anti-apoptotic pathways.
