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

RIP1 kinase is proposed to play a critical role in driving necroptosis and inflammation in neurodegenerative disorders, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Preclinical studies indicated that while pharmacological inhibition of RIP1 kinase can ameliorate axonal pathology and delay disease onset in the mutant SOD1 transgenic (SOD1-Tg) mice, genetic blockade of necroptosis does not provide benefit in this mouse model. To clarify the role of RIP1 kinase activity in driving pathology in SOD1-Tg mice, we crossed SOD1-Tgs to RIP1 kinase-dead knock-in mice, and measured disease progression using functional and histopathological endpoints. Genetic inactivation of the RIP1 kinase activity in the SOD1-Tgs did not benefit the declining muscle strength or nerve function, motor neuron degeneration or neuroinflammation. In addition, we did not find evidence of phosphorylated RIP1 accumulation in the spinal cords of ALS patients. On the other hand, genetic inactivation of RIP1 kinase activity ameliorated the depletion of the neurotransmitter dopamine in a toxin model of dopaminergic neurodegeneration. These findings indicate that RIP1 kinase activity is dispensable for disease pathogenesis in the SOD1-Tg mice while inhibition of kinase activity may provide benefit in acute injury models.
