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

Introduction: The potassium chloride co-transporter 2 (KCC2) is the principal Cl Methods: Here, we studied apoptotic induction in models of KCC2 loss of function and demonstrated the importance of C1q in this process using a constitutive C1qKO mouse model. We characterized the activation of different apoptotic pathways by measuring caspase 8 and caspase 9 cleavage as markers of extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis, respectively. Results: This study demonstrates Discussion: These results strongly support the hypothesis that the KCC2/C1q protein complex plays a critical role in the apoptotic process that occurs following loss of KCC2 function.
