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. Retinae of crabs, Leptograpsus variegatus, held on a 12:12 h light-dark cycle were prepared for culture in vitro shortly before light-off. After an hour in darkness to permit the assembly of "night" rhabdoms, retinae were exposed to various combinations of drugs: 1 microM okadaic acid (OKA); 60 microM SC-9; 10 microM phorbol, 12,13-diacetate (PDA). 2. The effects of the specific protein phosphatase inhibitor, OKA, are confirmed as light-dependent. Rhabdom sizes were not compromised by OKA, nor by either of the two protein kinase activators, SC-9 or PDA when each was deployed alone in darkness. 3. In combination with OKA, PDA induced demolition of rhabdoms by abnormal macropinocytosis of microvillar membranes. 4. Combined with OKA, SC-9 induced a transient reduction of rhabdoms, followed by overgrowth to abnormal sizes. Overgrowth was blocked by the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D. 5. Disparate consequences of combining OKA with SC-9 or PDA imply that more than one protein kinase C may be involved.
