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

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a ubiquitous, structurally complex multifunctional protein serine/threonine kinase that plays an important role in cell apoptosis via linking the ER stress and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways. Recently, CaMKII has been correlated with apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) activity and the ASK1-dependent apoptosis pathway through the direct phosphorylation of Thr845 of ASK1. The specific role of CaMKII in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced spinal astrocyte apoptosis, however, remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of CaMKIIγ (an isoform of CaMKII) on spinal astrocyte apoptosis using an in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD/R) model which mimics hypoxic/ischemic conditions in vivo. OGD/R increased cell death and the activation of CaMKII. Deletion of CaMKIIγ results in the reduced activation of CaMKII and apoptosis in astrocytes under OGD/R conditions. Notably, the deletion of CaMKIIγ induced ASK1 phosphorylation at Thr845 in astrocytes. The activation of JNK and p38 and the downstream effect of ASK1 were also reduced. These data suggest that CaMKIIγ is required for the CaMKII-dependent regulation of ASK1, affecting the apoptosis of a biologically important cell type under spinal cord injury.
