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

The mitochondrial serine protease HtrA2 is a human homolog of the Escherichia coli Deg-proteins exhibiting chaperone and proteolytic roles. HtrA2 is involved in both apoptotic regulation via its ability to degrade inhibitor-of-apoptosis proteins (IAPs), as well as in cellular maintenance as part of the cellular protein quality control machinery, by preventing the possible toxic accumulation of aggregated proteins. In this study, we use advanced solution NMR spectroscopy methods combined with biophysical characterization and biochemical assays to elucidate the crucial role of the substrate recognizing PDZ domain. This domain regulates the protease activity of HtrA2 by triggering an intricate allosteric network involving the regulatory loops of the protease domain. We further show that divalent metal ions can both positively and negatively modulate the activity of HtrA2, leading to a refined model of HtrA2 regulation within the apoptotic pathway.
