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

Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), are prevalent among the elderly. Small GTPases of the Ras superfamily are essential regulators of intracellular trafficking and signal transduction. In this study, we develop a targeted quantification method for small GTPase proteins, where the method involves scheduled multiple-reaction monitoring analysis and the use of synthetic stable isotope-labeled peptides as internal standards or surrogate standards. We further applied this method to examine the altered expression of small GTPase proteins in post-mortem frontal cortex tissues from AD patients with different degrees of disease severity. We were able to achieve sensitive and reproducible quantifications of 80 small GTPases in brain tissue samples from 15 patients. Our results revealed substantial up-regulations of several synaptic GTPases, i.e., RAB3A/C, RAB4A/B, and RAB27B, in tissues from patients with higher degrees of AD pathology, suggesting that aberrant synaptic trafficking may modulate the progression of AD. The method should be generally applicable for high-throughput targeted quantification of small GTPase proteins in other tissue and cellular samples.
