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

Polysialic acid (PSA) and its major protein carrier, the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM, play important roles in many nervous system functions during development and in adulthood. Here, we show that a PSA-carrying NCAM fragment is generated at the plasma membrane by matrix metalloproteases and transferred to the cell nucleus via endosomes and the cytoplasm. Generation and nuclear import of this fragment in cultured cerebellar neurons is induced by a function-triggering NCAM antibody and a peptide comprising the effector domain (ED) of myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) which interacts with PSA within the plane of the plasma membrane. These treatments lead to activation of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor, phospholipase C (PLC), protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), and subsequently to phosphorylation of MARCKS. Moreover, the NCAM antibody triggers calmodulin-dependent activation of nitric oxide synthase, nitric oxide (NO) production, NO-dependent S-nitrosylation of matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP9) as well as activation of matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP2) and MMP9, whereas the ED peptide activates phospholipase D (PLD) and MMP2, but not MMP9. These results indicate that the nuclear PSA-carrying NCAM fragment is generated by distinct and functionally defined signal transducing mechanisms.
