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

Executioner caspases, such as caspase-3, are known to induce apoptosis, but in other contexts, they can control very different fates, including cell differentiation and neuronal plasticity. While hundreds of caspase substrates are known to be specifically targeted during cell death, we know very little about how caspase activity brings about non-apoptotic fates. Here, we report the first proteome identification of cleavage events in C2C12 cells undergoing myogenic differentiation and its comparison to undifferentiated or dying C2C12 cells. These data have identified new caspase substrates, including caspase substrates specifically associated with differentiation, and show that caspases are regulating proteins involved in myogenesis in myotubes, several days after caspase-3 initiated differentiation. Cytoskeletal proteins emerged as a major group of non-apoptotic caspase substrates. We also identified proteins with well-established roles in muscle differentiation as substrates cleaved in differentiating cells.
