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

We report here the finding of abnormal Golgi apparatus morphology in motor neuron like cells depleted of SMN as well as Golgi apparatus morphology in SMA patient fibroblasts. Rescue experiments demonstrate that this abnormality is dependent on SMN, but can also be rescued by expression of the COPI coatomer subunit alpha-COP. A motor neuron-like cell line containing an inducible alpha-COP shRNA was created to generate a parallel system to study knockdown of SMN or alpha-COP. Multiple assays of COPI-dependent intracellular trafficking in cells depleted of SMN demonstrate that alpha-COP function is suboptimal, including failed sequestration of plasma membrane proteins, altered binding of mRNA, and defective targeting and transport of Golgi-resident proteins.
