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

Ceramide has been shown to cause anoikis, a subtype of apoptosis due to inadequate cell adhesion. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Herein, we report that D-e-C6-ceramide (D-e-Cer), via generating sphingosine, disrupts the Golgi complex (GC), which is associated with various cellular effects, including anoikis. Treatment of HeLa cells with D-e-Cer caused cell elongation, spreading inhibition, rounding, and detachment before apoptosis (anoikis). In D-e-Cer-treated cells, glycosylation of beta1 integrin in the GC was inhibited, thus its associated integrin receptors failed to translocate to the cell surface. Ceramide treatment also inhibited the reorganization of both microtubule and F-actin cytoskeletons, focal adhesions, and filopodia. These cellular effects were preceded by fragmentation of the Golgi complex. In contrast, L-e-C6-ceramide (L-e-Cer), the enantiomer of D-e-Cer, failed to induce these cellular effects. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that treatment HeLa cells with D-e-Cer but not L-e-Cer caused a >50-fold increase in the levels of sphingosine, a product of hydrolysis of ceramide. Treatment with D-e-sphingosine and its enantiomer, L-e-sphingosine, caused massive perinuclear vacuolization, Golgi fragmentation, and cell rounding. Together, these results suggest that sphingosine generated from hydrolysis of ceramide causes the GC disruption, leading to various cellular effects.
