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

Extracellular nucleotides can activate a common purinoceptor mediating various cell responses. In this study we report that stimulation of rat mesangial cells with ATP and UTP leads to a rapid activation of the protein kinase B/Akt (PKB) pathway. Time-course studies reveal a rapid and transient phosphorylation of both Ser(473) and Thr(308) of PKB with a maximal effect after 5 min of stimulation. The response is concentration-dependent with a maximal effect at 30 microM of ATP and UTP. Western blot analysis of mesangial cells reveals the expression of the isoenzymes PKB-alpha and PKB-gamma, but not the PKB-beta. ATP and UTP also activate the upstream located PI 3-kinase-dependent kinase. Furthermore, the ATP- and UTP-induced PKB phosphorylation is abolished by two inhibitors of the PI 3-kinase. In addition, suramin, a putative P2Y(2) receptor antagonist, and pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of G(i)/G(o) activation, markedly block ATP- and UTP-induced PKB phosphorylation. A series of ATP and UTP analogues were tested for their ability to stimulate PKB phosphorylation. UTP, ATP and gamma-thio-ATP are the only compounds capable of activating PKB. Stress-induced apoptosis of mesangial cells is reduced by the stable ATP analogue, gamma-thio-ATP, and this inhibitory effect is reversed in the presence of LY 294002. In summary, these results demonstrate that extracellular nucleotides are able to activate the PI 3-kinase/PDK/PKB cascade via the P2Y(2)-receptor and a pertussis toxin-sensitive G(i) protein. Moreover, in mesangial cells this cascade may have an important role in the antiapoptotic response but not in the mitogenic or inflammatory response produced by extracellular nucleotides.
