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

Gracile axonal dystrophy (gad) mutant mice present with autosomal recessive inherited sensory ataxia in the early stages, followed by age-dependent motor ataxia. This phenotype is caused by a mutation in the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 (UCH-L1) gene and leads to a lack of expression of UCH-L1 protein, ubiquitin-proteasome which is related to the autophagy pathway and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). To elucidate the pathophysiology of abnormal protein accumulation in gad mice, we focused on macroautophagy. Using electron microscopy, we detected a double-membrane structure, which was characteristic of autophagosomes, in gad mice. In addition, in immunohistochemistry to investigate the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins in the gracile nuclei of the gad mouse, we found upregulation of LC3 and p62 but not LAMP-2A. These results suggested that a lack of UCH-L1 expression might induce the formation of autophagosomes, but the resulting autophagy flux might be disturbed.
