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

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptors (5-HTRs) play critical roles in brain and cardiovascular functions. In the vasculature, 5-HT induces potent vasoconstrictions, which in aorta are mainly mediated by activation of the 5-HT(2A)R subtype. We previously proposed that one signalling mechanism of 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction could be c-Src, a member of the Src tyrosine kinase family. We now provide evidence for a central role of c-Src in 5-HT(2A)R-mediated contraction. Inhibition of Src kinase activity with 10 mum 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2) prior to contraction resulted in approximately 90-99% inhibition of contractions induced by 5-HT or by alpha-methyl-5-HT (5-HT(2)R agonist). In contrast, PP2 pretreatment only partly inhibited contractions induced by angiotensin II and the thromboxane A(2) mimetic, U46619, and had no significant action on phenylephrine-induced contractions. 5-Hydroxytryptamine increased Src kinase activity and PP2-sensitive tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. As expected for c-Src identity, PP2 pretreatment inhibited 5-HT-induced contraction with an IC(50) of approximately 1 mum. Ketanserin (10 nm), a 5-HT(2A) antagonist, but not antagonists of 5-HT(2B)R (100 nm SB204741) or 5-HT(2C)R (20 nm RS102221), prevented 5-HT-induced contractions, mimicking PP2 and implicating 5-HT(2A)R as the major receptor subtype coupled to c-Src. In HEK 293T cells, c-Src and 5-HT(2A)R were reciprocally co-immunoprecipitated and co-localized at the cell periphery. Finally, 5-HT-induced Src activity was unaffected by inhibition of Rho kinase, supporting a role of c-Src upstream of Rho kinase. Together, the results highlight c-Src activation as one of the early and pivotal mechanisms in 5-HT(2A)R contractile signalling in aorta.
