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

Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor 1 (Smurf1) is one of members of the Hect family of proteins, which also includes the ubiquitin E3-type ligases Nedd3 and E6-AP. As an E3 ligase, Smurf1 selectively interacts with receptor-regulated Smads to trigger their ubiquitination and degradation. Recently, a report indicates that Smurf1 can inhibit apoptosis by regulating p53 negatively, which depends on the effect of Smurf1 stabilizing the MDM2-MDMX complex. However, the roles of Smurf1 in central nervous system injury remain to be unknown. In our study, we finished acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in adult rats to research the protein expression and cellular localization of Smurf1 in spinal cord. Western blot analysis showed that Smurf1 was low expressed in normal spinal cord. It was increased at 6 h after SCI, peaked at 1 day, remained for 3 days, and then declined gradually during the following days. Immunohistochemistry further confirmed that Smurf1 immunoactivity was expressed at low levels in the gray matter and white matter in normal condition and increased after SCI. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that Smurf1 was co-expressed NeuN (neuronal marker), CNPase (oligodendroglial marker), and active caspase-3 at 1 day post-injury. Additionally, p53 and MDM2 levels were up-regulated after SCI consistently. All these findings suggest that Smurf1 might be involved in the pathophysiology of spinal cord after SCI.
