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

Thrombospondin (TSP)-1, a multidomain glycoprotein, is secreted from astrocytes and promotes synaptogenesis. However, little is known about the mechanisms regulating its expression and release. In this article, we report that purinergic signaling participates in the production and secretion of TSP-1. Treatment of primary cultures of rat cortical astrocytes with extracellular ATP caused an increase in TSP-1 expression in a time- and concentration-dependent manner and was inhibited by antagonists of P2 and P1 purinergic receptors. Agonist studies revealed that UTP, but not 2',3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP, 2-methylthio-ADP, adenosine, or 5'-N-ethyl-carboxamidoadenosine, caused a significant increase in TSP-1 expression. In addition, release of TSP-1 was stimulated by ATP and UTP but not by 2-methylthio-ADP or adenosine. Additional studies indicated that P2Y(4) receptors stimulate both TSP-1 expression and release. P2Y receptors are coupled to protein kinase cascades, and signaling studies demonstrated that blockade of mitogen-activated protein kinases or Akt inhibited ATP- and UTP-induced TSP-1 expression. Using an in vitro model of CNS trauma that stimulates release of ATP, we found that TSP-1 expression increased after mechanical strain and was completely blocked by a P2 receptor antagonist and by inhibition of p38/mitogen-activated protein kinase and Akt, thereby indicating a major role for P2 receptor/protein kinase signaling in TSP-1 expression induced by trauma. We conclude that TSP-1 expression can be regulated by activation of P2Y receptors, particularly P2Y(4), coupled to protein kinase signaling pathways and suggest that purinergic signaling may be an important factor in TSP-1-mediated cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions such as those occurring during development and repair.
