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

Here we examine the roles of two isoforms of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), GSK-3α and GSK-3β, in skeletal development. Both isoforms were unphosphorylated and active in chondrocyte differentiation stages during SOX9 and type II collagen (COL2A1) expression. Although knock-out of both alleles of Gsk3a (Gsk3a(-/-)) or a single allele of Gsk3b (Gsk3b(+/-)) in mice did not significantly affect skeletal development, compound knock-out (Gsk3a(-/-);Gsk3b(+/-)) caused dwarfism with impairment of chondrocyte differentiation. GSK-3α and GSK-3β induced differentiation of cultured chondrocytes with functional redundancy in a cell-autonomous fashion, independently of the Wnt/β-catenin signal. Computational predictions followed by SOX9 and COL2A1 transcriptional assays identified RelA (NF-κB p65) as a key phosphorylation target of GSK-3. Among several phosphorylation residues in RelA, Thr-254 was identified as the critical phosphorylation site for GSK-3 that modulated chondrocyte differentiation. In conclusion, redundant functions of GSK-3α and GSK-3β through phosphorylation of RelA at Thr-254 play a crucial role in early stages of chondrocyte differentiation.
