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

backgroundProteasomes are proteolytic complexes with prominent roles in the control of protein homeostasis and cellular viability. However, little is known about the effects of storage and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD MATERIALS AND

methodsWe investigated the concentration (by GeLC-MS proteomics analysis and immunoblotting), activity (by using peptide substrates and proteasome inhibitors), and subcellular/extracellular distribution (following cell fractionation and isolation of extracellular vesicles, respectively) of RBC proteasomes in fresh blood and RBCs from control and G6PD

resultsStored RBCs were characterised by decreased cytosolic proteasome activity compared to fresh RBCs but increased membrane activity and protein concentration levels. Active proteasomes along with other "repair or destroy" proteins are recruited to the membrane during storage. A proportion of them is released in the supernatant in soluble form or inside extracellular vesicles. Significantly increased enzymatic activity and release of proteasomes were observed in G6PD DISCUSSION: Storage conditions and G6PD deficiency affect (individually and in synergy) the abundance, distribution, activity, and release of RBC proteasomes. The partial irreversibility of these effects in transfusion-mimicking conditions demands further investigation of their clinical impact on transfusion outcomes.
