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

Investigations into the regulation of heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein alpha-subunits in models of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-induced cell death, revealed the selective down-regulation of the G(q)alpha/G11alpha family of G-proteins. The human HeLa and murine L929 cells treated with recombinant human TNF for up to 24 h displayed down-regulated G(q)alpha/G11alpha family protein levels, but not G(s)alpha, G(i)alpha and G(o)alpha protein levels as determined by Western analyses. This effect of TNF was observed in a concentration--and time-dependent manner, consistent with the profiles of TNF-induced cell death observed. Moreover, the functioning of G(q)alpha/G11alpha family proteins were found to be impaired in TNF-treated cells, as measured by agonist-induced [Ca2+]i release. In contrast, G(s)alpha activity was unaltered by TNF-treatment, determined by measurement of agonist-induced intracellular cyclic AMP generation. These findings in TNF-induced cytotoxic models, indicate a novel 'cross-talk' mechanism by which TNF alters Ca2+-signalling mechanisms, which may contribute towards the apoptotic and necrotic cell death.
