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

The lacrimal gland is responsible for tear production, and a major protein found in tears is secretory component (SC), the proteolytically cleaved fragment of the extracellular domain of the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR), which is the receptor mediating the basal-to-apical transcytosis of polymeric immunoglobulins across epithelial cells. Immunofluorescent labeling of rabbit lacrimal gland acinar cells (LGACs) revealed that the small GTPase Rab3D, a regulated secretory vesicle marker, and the pIgR are colocalized in subapical membrane vesicles. In addition, the secretion of SC from primary cultures of LGACs was stimulated by the cholinergic agonist carbachol (CCH), and its release rate was very similar to that of other regulated secretory proteins in LGACs. In pull-down assays from resting LGACs, recombinant wild-type Rab3D (Rab3DWT) or the GDP-locked mutant Rab3DT36N both pulled down pIgR, but the GTP-locked mutant Rab3DQ81L did not. When the pull-down assays were performed in the presence of guanosine-5'-(gamma-thio)-triphosphate, GTP, or guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), binding of Rab3DWT to pIgR was inhibited. In blot overlays, recombinant Rab3DWT bound to immunoprecipitated pIgR, suggesting that Rab3D and pIgR may interact directly. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of mutant Rab3DT36N in LGACs inhibited CCH-stimulated SC release, and, in CCH-stimulated LGACs, pull down of pIgR with Rab3DWT and colocalization of pIgR with endogenous Rab3D were decreased relative to resting cells, suggesting that the pIgR-Rab3D interaction may be modulated by secretagogues. These data suggest that the novel localization of pIgR to the regulated secretory pathway of LGACs and its secretion therefrom may be affected by its novel interaction with Rab3D.
