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

The export of leukotriene (LT) C4 from human eosinophils, a carrier-mediated process that is temperature-dependent and saturable, was characterized further in eosinophils and in two human leukemia cell lines that do not present an intact 5-lipoxygenase pathway. In eosinophils, KG-1 cells, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-differentiated HL-60 cells, the respective Q10 values for temperature-dependent LTC4 export were 3.7, 3.3, and 3.4 and for energy of activation were 28.2 kcal/mol, 23.0 kcal/mol, and 27.8 kcal/mol (1 kcal = 4.18 kJ). When human eosinophils, KG-1 cells, and DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells were preloaded with defined amounts of intracellular LTC4 by incubation with LTA4 and with incremental amounts of a glutathione conjugate, S-dinitrophenyl glutathione (GS-DNP) by sequential incubation with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, GS-DNP inhibited the export of LTC4 in a dose-dependent manner. By plotting the ratio of total GS-DNP (cell retained plus released) to the sum of total GS-DNP plus total LTC4 against the percentage inhibition of LTC4 release, IC40 values of 0.839, 0.803, and 0.841 were obtained for eosinophils, KG-1 cells, and DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells, respectively. When cells preloaded with LTC4 were resuspended in incremental concentrations of the organic acid transport inhibitor, probenecid, there was a dose-dependent decrease in LTC4 release; GS-DNP and probenecid inhibited LTC4 release in a cumulative fashion, whereas neither inhibited the release of LTB4 from preloaded nondifferentiated HL-60 cells. Therefore, LTC4 export from cells of bone marrow origin occurs through a probenecid-sensitive membrane carrier shared by other glutathione conjugates and distinct from the LTB4 carrier export system.
