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

Increases in the second messenger cAMP are associated with receptor-mediated ATP release from erythrocytes. In other signaling pathways, cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) hydrolyze this second messenger and thereby limit its biological actions. Although rabbit and human erythrocytes possess adenylyl cyclase and synthesize cAMP, their PDE activity is poorly characterized. It was reported previously that the prostacyclin analog iloprost stimulated receptor-mediated increases in cAMP in rabbit and human erythrocytes. However, the PDEs that hydrolyze erythrocyte cAMP synthesized in response to iloprost were not identified. PDE3 inhibitors were reported to augment increases in cAMP stimulated by prostacyclin analogs in platelets and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Additionally, PDE3 activity was identified in embryonic avian erythrocytes, but the presence of this PDE in mammalian erythrocytes has not been investigated. Here, using Western blot analysis, we determined that PDE3B is a component of rabbit and human erythrocyte membranes. In addition, we report that the preincubation of rabbit and human erythrocytes with the PDE3 inhibitors milrinone and cilostazol potentiates iloprost-induced increases in cAMP. In addition, cilostamide, the parent compound of cilostazol, potentiated iloprost-induced increases in cAMP in human erythrocytes. These findings demonstrate that PDE3B is present in rabbit and human erythrocytes and are consistent with the hypothesis that PDE3 activity regulates cAMP levels associated with a signaling pathway activated by iloprost in these cells.
