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

The high-molecular-mass neurofilament subunit (NFH) is normally hypophosphorylated in the neuronal perikaryon and undergoes extensive phosphorylation after entering the initial axon segment. Aberrant hyperphosphorylation of perikaryal NFH is a common feature of many neurological diseases. In a previous study (), we demonstrated a correlation between phosphorylation of perikaryal NFH and induction of stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)-gamma. In this report, we present direct evidence showing that the in vivo activation of SAPKs by an upstream activator (MEKK-1) caused extensive NFH phosphorylation. We also show that stress-activated p38 kinases were not involved in the phosphorylation of perikaryal NFH in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons and that this process was reversible. SAPKgamma was shown to be located in both the cell body and the neurites of the cultured neurons, suggesting that it is likely to be involved in the phosphorylation of cytoplasmic substrates. These could include neuritic NFH, which is highly phosphorylated despite the demonstrated lack of cyclin-dependent kinase-5 activity in these neurons. Neuritic NFH was also highly phosphorylated in neuronal cultures devoid of Schwann cells, indicating that this form of post-translational modification does not require cues stemming from Schwann cell-axon contacts. Collectively, these findings provide significant new insights into mechanisms involved in NFH phosphorylation in normal neurons and in disease states characterized by aberrant phosphorylation of neurofilaments.
