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

Recently, the alpha-subunit of the inhibitory guanine-nucleotide-binding protein Gi2 (alpha-Gi2) has been shown to be a substrate for phosphorylation both by protein kinase C and also by other unidentified kinase(s) which are activated as a result of elevated cyclic AMP levels in intact rat hepatocytes [Bushfield, Murphy, Lavan, Parker, Hruby, Milligan & Houslay (1990) Biochem. J. 268, 449-457]. Here we show that the incorporation of [32P]Pi into alpha-Gi2 was enhanced 3-fold by incubation of intact hepatocytes with the tumour promoter and protein phosphatase (1 and 2A) inhibitor, okadaic acid. This action was both time- and concentration-dependent and was accompanied by a loss of guanine-nucleotide-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The increased labelling of alpha-Gi2 induced by okadaic acid was partially additive with that elicited by 8-bromo cyclic AMP, but not with that elicited by the protein kinase C activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. We suggest that, in the absence of hormones, the activity of alpha-Gi2 is under the control of a dynamic phosphorylation/dephosphorylation system involving protein kinase C and protein phosphatases 1 and/or 2A. This highlights the regulation of kinases and phosphatases as both providing potentially important mechanisms for causing 'cross-talk' between different signalling systems, in this instance controlling cellular responsiveness through regulation of alpha-Gi2 phosphorylation.
