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

Silica particle-associated inflammation is implicated in the genesis of several pulmonary diseases, including silicosis and lung cancer. In this study we investigated the role of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) in silica-stimulated induction of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta and how PC-PLC activity is regulated by silica in a rat alveolar macrophage model. We demonstrated that inhibition of PC-PLC, which was achieved with tricychodecan-9-yl-xanthate (D609), blocked the silica-stimulated induction of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in alveolar macrophage, suggesting that PC-PLC is involved in the silica-associated inflammatory response. PC-PLC activity was increased significantly by silica exposure, and this could be inhibited by MnTBAP, which catalyzes both the dismutation of O2.- to O2 and H2O2 and the dismutation of H2O2 to O2 and H2O, revealing that PC-PLC activity is regulated in a redox-dependent manner. This is further confirmed by the finding that PC-PLC activity was increased by exogenous H2O2. The intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA blocked the H2O2-increased PC-PLC activity, while the calcium ionophore, A23187, enhanced PC-PLC activity. The data indicate that PC-PLC plays critical roles in the silica-associated inflammatory response and that PC-PLC is regulated through redox- and calcium-dependent manners in alveolar macrophages.
