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. Extracellularly added P(1),P(3)-di(adenosine-5') triphosphate (Ap(3)A), P(1),P(4)-di(adenosine-5') tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A), ATP, ADP, AMP and adenosine are growth inhibitory for rat C6 glioma cells. Analysis of nucleotide hydrolysis and the use of nucleotidase inhibitors demonstrated that the latter inhibition is due to hydrolysis of the nucleotides to adenosine. 2. Agonists of the P2Y(AC)(-)-receptor enhance the growth of C6 cells if their hydrolysis to adenosine is inhibited by pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS). In these conditions, the potency to stimulate cell growth parallels the ranking of the receptor agonists, i.e. 2-methylthioadenosine-5'-diphosphate (2MeSADP)>Ap(3)A>Ap(4)A. ATP and ADP are still hydrolysed in the presence of PPADS and have no proliferative effect on C6 cells. 3. The enhanced growth is due to a P2Y(AC)(-)-receptor-mediated activation of p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) as shown by immunoblotting and protein kinase assays for active MAPK and the use of the MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059. 4. The UTP-induced enhancement of the growth of C6 cells is due to activation of MAPK by a PPADS sensitive nucleotide receptor. 5. In conclusion, the effect of nucleotides on the growth of C6 cells is determined by ecto-nucleotidases and by activation of nucleotide receptors. Hydrolysis of nucleotides to adenosine induces growth inhibition while inhibition of the hydrolysis of agonists of the P2Y(AC)(-)-receptor enhances cell growth by activation of MAPK.
