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

Spiroplasma eriocheiris has been identified as a lethal pathogen of Eriocheir sinensis tremor disease (TD), one neurological disease with typically paroxysmal tremors of the pereiopod. But, the pathogenic mechanism of TD was still unknown. First, in the current study, the phosphoproteomic changes of E. sinensis thoracic ganglion after S. eriocheiris infection were obtained using TMT labeling and affinity enrichment followed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis. A total of 349 phosphorylation proteins are upregulated, and 331 phosphorylation proteins are downregulated when compared to the control sample with quantitative ratios above 1.5 or below 1/1.5 that are deemed significant. Bioinformatics analysis (Gene ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway, and domain analysis, etc.) showed that Wnt signaling pathways were restrained, corresponding to many nervous system developments, and signal transmission pathway was also disrupted. Neurotransmitter metabolite analysis showed metabolic dysregulation of four key neurotransmitters (5-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan, serotonin, acetylcholine, and γ-amino-butyric acid) in thoracic ganglion of E. sinensis following S. eriocheiris infection. Second, similar to its effects on the thoracic ganglion cells, S. eriocheiris infection of hemocytes (the primary target cells and most crucial immune cells in crabs) also suppressed the host Wnt pathway through enhanced EsGSK3β activity, both in vivo and in vitro. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that EsGSK3β could directly interact with Esβ-catenin. Inhibited or enhanced EsGSK3β activity of hemocytes could reduce or facilitate S. eriocheiris infection by regulating the stability and nuclear translocation of Esβ-catenin. Finally, further analysis showed that Wnt-β-catenin pathway could functionally crosstalk with Toll pathway to positively regulate hemocytes antibacterial peptides transcription. Altogether, our results suggest that S. eriocheiris could restrain the crab Wnt pathway, reduce antibacterial peptides transcription to help its infection and disorder neurotransmitters to cause neuropathic TD at last.
