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

The C. elegans Q lineage provides a unique context for studying how cells divide asymmetrically to generate cells fated to die. The Q cell divides to form the Q.a and Q.p neuroblasts, each of which divides to produce neurons and a cell that dies by apoptosis; however, these neuroblasts employ different mechanisms to divide asymmetrically.(1) We discovered 2 distinct roles for TOE-2, a protein previously shown to be a target of the C. elegans ERK ortholog MPK-1, in promoting apoptosis in each of these neuroblast divisions. In this commentary, we discuss possible molecular mechanisms by which TOE-2 promotes apoptosis. Specifically, we will discuss potential roles for TOE-2 interacting proteins, a possible nuclear function for TOE-2, and a potential link to the Wnt pathway.
