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

1. We have examined the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and release of histamine by rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) in response to stimulation with antigen (ovalbumin), compound 48/80, nerve growth factor (NGF) and substance P (SP). 2. We have also examined the effects of the non-specific nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, L-NAME (100 microM) upon the release of histamine and generation of intracellular ROS in response to the named secretagogues. 3. Ovalbumin (100 - 1000 microg ml-1), compound 48/80 (0.1 - 100 microg ml-1), NGF (0.1 - 100 microg ml-1), and SP (5 - 50 microM), caused a concentration-dependent release of histamine from RPMC. 4. Ovalbumin (1 ng ml-1 - 0.1 microg ml-1), compound 48/80 (1 - 100 microg ml-1), NGF (1 pg ml-1 - 1 microg ml-1), and SP (0.005 - 50 microM) caused a concentration-dependent generation of intracellular ROS by RPMC. 5. Pre-incubation of RPMC with L-NAME (100 microM) caused a significant enhancement of both histamine release and intracellular ROS from RPMC in response to ovalbumin, compound 48/80, NGF and SP. 6. Our data demonstrate that NGF, SP and ovalbumin are capable of causing intracellular ROS generation by RPMC at lower concentrations than those causing significant histamine release and we speculate that this may contribute to the activation of cytokine production. 7. The data also show that NO modulates histamine release, and ROS generation in response to the secretagogues used. This may have significance in pathologies where NO synthesis is decreased, leading to an increased activation of mast cells.
