Activation of phospholipase C gamma 1 protects renal arteriolar VSMCs from H2O2-induced cell death.
Article in Kidney & blood pressure research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundWe evaluated the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on viability of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of renal resistance arterioles and determined whether responses are modulated by activation of PLCgamma1.
methodsPhospholipase C (PLC)-isozyme protein levels and activity were measured using Western blot analysis and enzymatic production of phosphoinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), respectively. Stimulation of PLCgamma1 was assessed by immunoblots of tyrosine phosphorylation.
resultsCytotoxicity of H2O2 exposure was concentration-dependent (30% death with 250 microM; 87% with 500 microM at 8 h) and time-dependent (7% at 1 h; 30% at 8 h with 250 microM H2O2. Catalase abolished such relations. H2O2 increased PLCgamma1 expression more than that of PLCdelta1 and almost doubled total PLC enzymatic activity between 2 and 8 h, changes prevented by catalase. The PLC inhibitor U73112 (3 microM) enhanced the cytotoxic concentration and time effects of H2O2. In acute studies, H2O2 rapidly caused tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma1.
conclusionH2O2 increased PLCgamma1 expression and almost doubled total PLC activity, changes abolished by catalase. We conclude that H2O2 is cytotoxic to cultured VSMCs of renal preglomerular arterioles, a process that is attenuated by compensatory increases in PLCgamma1 protein level, tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma1 and PLC enzymatic activity to generate IP3.
