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

Since being discovered and intensively studied for over a decade, Smad ubiquitylation regulatory factor-1 (Smurf1) has been linked with several important biological pathways, including the bone morphogenetic protein pathway, the non-canonical Wnt pathway, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Multiple functions of this ubiquitin ligase have been discovered in cell growth and morphogenesis, cell migration, cell polarity, and autophagy. Smurf1 is related to physiological manifestations in terms of age-dependent deficiency in bone formation and invasion of tumor cells. Smurf1-knockout mice have a significant phenotype in the skeletal system and considerable manifestations during embryonic development and neural outgrowth. In depth studying of Smurf1 will help us to understand the etiopathological mechanisms of related disorders. Here, we will summarize historical and recent studies on Smurf1, and discuss the E3 ligase-dependent and -independent functions of Smurf1. Moreover, intracellular regulations of Smurf1 and related physiological phenotypes will be described in this review.
