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 exert an important role in controlling cell physiology by activating intracellular signalling cascades. Osteoblast HOBIT cells express P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) G-protein-coupled receptors, and respond to extracellular ATP by increasing cytosolic calcium concentrations. Early growth response protein 1 (Egr-1) is a C(2)H(2)-zinc-finger-containing transcriptional regulator responsible for the activation of several genes involved in the control of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and is thought to have a central role in osteoblast biology. We show that ATP treatment of HOBIT cells increases Egr-1 protein levels and binding activity via a mechanism involving a Ca(2+)-independent protein kinase C isoform. Moreover, hypotonic stress and increased medium turbulence, by inducing ATP release, result in a similar effect on Egr-1. Increased levels of Egr-1 protein expression and activity are achieved at very early times after stimulation (5 min), possibly accounting for a rapid way for changing the osteoblast gene-expression profile. A target gene for Egr-1 that is fundamental in osteoblast physiology, COL1A2, is up-regulated by ATP stimulation of HOBIT cells in a timescale that is compatible with that of Egr-1 activation.
