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

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by deletions or mutations of survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. To date, the mechanism of selective cell death of motor neurons as a hallmark of SMA is still unclear. The severity of SMA is dependent on the amount of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, which is an essential and ubiquitously expressed protein involved in various cellular processes including regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics. In this review, we discuss the effect of SMN ablation on cytoskeleton organization including actin dynamics, growth cone formation, axonal stability, neurite outgrowth, microtubule stability, synaptic vesicle dynamics and neurofilament protein release in SMA. We also summarized a list of critical proteins such as profilin-2 (PFN2), plastin-3 (PLS3), stathmin-1 (STMN1), microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) and neurofilament which play an important role in modulating cytoskeleton in SMA. Our aim is to highlight how cytoskeletal defects contribute to motor neuron degeneration in SMA disease progression and concentrating on cytoskeleton dynamics may be a promising approach to develop new therapy or biomarker.
