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

Stable overexpression of myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) is known to enhance phorbol ester stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD) activity and protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) levels in SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cells. In contrast, expression of MARCKS mutants (S152A or S156A) lacking key PKC phosphorylation sites within the central basic effector domain (ED) had no significant effect on PLD activity or PKCalpha levels relative to vector control cells. Like control cells, those expressing wild type MARCKS were elongated and possessed longitudinally oriented stress fibers, although these cells were more prone to detach from the substratum and undergo cell death upon phorbol ester treatment. However, cells expressing MARCKS ED mutants were irregularly shaped and stress fibers were either shorter or less abundant, and cell adhesion and viability were not affected. These results suggest that intact phosphorylation sites within the MARCKS ED are required for PLD activation and influence both membrane-cytoskeletal organization and cell viability.
