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. The effects of the selective beta2 adrenoceptor agonists salbutamol, terbutaline and salmeterol and the non-selective beta adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline on [3H]-cyclic AMP formation and cyclic AMP response element (CRE) driven luciferase expression, assessed using the construct p6CRE/luc, were studied in primary cultures of human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells. 2. Optimal transfection conditions for transient expression of pGL3 Control were 4 microg DNA/well71 in a 6 well plate and 1.8 microl Transfectam/microg DNA. Expression was maximal at 48 - 72 h. 3. Salbutamol (maximum response 19%, EC50 0.6 microM), terbutaline (maximum response 38%, EC50 2.3 microM) and salmeterol (maximum response 18%, EC50 0.0012 microM) were all partial agonists for cyclic AMP formation compared with isoprenaline (EC50 0.08 microM). However, all of the beta2 adrenoceptor agonists produced increases in CRE-driven luciferase activity, in cultured HASM transfected with the vector p6CRE/luc, which were equivalent or greater (salmeterol) than those seen with isoprenaline. 4. Both salbutamol and salmeterol were more potent at increasing luciferase expression than in elevating cyclic AMP levels in these cells. The potency ratios (EC50 (cyclic AMP)/EC50 (LUC)) for the agents studied were isoprenaline: 0. 2 fold, terbutaline: 3 fold, salbutamol: 24 fold, salmeterol: 38 fold. 5. These data suggest that important quantitative differences exist in the ability of beta2 adrenoceptor agonists to increase whole cell cyclic AMP levels in airway smooth muscle and to drive gene expression via a CRE-driven mechanism.
