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

Cytosolic α-mannosidase (Man2C1) trims free oligosaccharides in mammalian cells, and its down-regulation reportedly delays cancer growth by inducing mitotic arrest or apoptosis. However, the mechanism by which Man2C1 down-regulation induces apoptosis is unknown. Here, we demonstrated that silencing of Man2C1 via small hairpin RNAs induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in HeLa cells. Expression of CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein), a transcription factor critical to endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis, was significantly up-regulated in Man2C1 knockdown cells. However, this enhanced CHOP expression was not caused by endoplasmic reticulum stress. Interestingly, Man2C1 catalytic activity was not required for this regulation of apoptosis; introduction of mutant, enzymatically inactive Man2C1 rescued apoptotic phenotypes of Man2C1 knockdown cells. These results show that Man2C1 has dual functions: one in glycan catabolism and another in apoptotic signaling.
