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

Ultrastructural studies have shown that liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) contain a cytoskeletal framework of filamentous actin, and that the presence of actin in the form of a calmodulin-actomyosin complex is responsible for regulation of the diameter of sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae (SEF). Rho has emerged as an important regulator of the actin cytoskeleton and consequently of cell morphology. We investigated actin filaments in relation to SEF in LSEC using heavy meromyosin decorated reaction and elucidated the roles of Rho and actin cytoskeleton in morphological and functional alterations of SEF. Second, according to intracytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, plasma membrane Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase activities were clearly demonstrated on the outer surface of the labyrinth-like SEF in the isolated LSECs. Furthermore, by investigating intracytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, we have demonstrated plasma membrane Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase activities on the outer surface of the labyrinth-like SEF in the isolated LSECs. Currently, the majority of fenestral studies are focused on finding ways to increase the liver sieve's porosity, which is reduced through pathological mechanisms.
