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

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a phospholipid mediator with a variety of biological activities. It remains unknown, however, which cells in the brain express the LPA receptor. The present study was undertaken to identify cells in the rat brain expressing functional LPA receptors, and to explore biological roles of LPA in these cells. We found that the LPA receptor was most dominantly expressed in rat astrocytes, determined by LPA-induced Ca2+ imaging, and by Northern blot analyses. LPA induced a mitogenic response and expression of immediate early genes in astrocytes, through pertussis-toxin sensitive G-protein(s). LPA also stimulated the expression of various cytokine genes, including nerve growth factor, interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-3 and IL-6. Thus, astrocytes are the major target of LPA in the brain. We propose that LPA may play important roles in neuronal development, gliosis and wound-healing process in the brain.
