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

Most caspases can be positioned unambiguously within the regulated cell death networks of apoptosis and pyroptosis, but the role of caspase-2, a highly conserved protease within the family, remains enigmatic. This is mainly due to lack of selective chemical and biochemical tools for the investigation of this protease. In this study, we used our hybrid combinatorial substrate library (HyCoSuL) approach to broadly profile caspase-2 substrate specificity using peptide scanning libraries. This screen uncovered previously unknown caspase-2 peptidyl substrate preferences, which were further used to develop caspase-2 selective fluorogenic substrates and covalent, irreversible AOMK inhibitors. Finally, we used the champion inhibitor (NH-23-C2) in reversine-treated HCT-116 colon cancer cells to selectively block caspase-2 activity and caspase-2-mediated MDM-2 cleavage. In addition, we showed that NH-23-C2 does not block caspase-3 or caspase-8, which makes it a powerful chemical tool to dissect the true role of caspase-2 in various biological setups.
