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

In human bronchial epithelial (16HBE14o(-)) cells, CB(1) and CB(2) cannabinoid receptors are present, and their activation by the endocannabinoid virodhamine and the synthetic non-selective receptor agonist CP55,940 inhibits adenylyl cyclase and cellular interleukin-8 release. Here, we analyzed changes in intracellular calcium ([Ca2+](i)) evoked by Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta(9)-THC), CP55,940, and virodhamine in 16HBE14o(-) cells. Delta(9)-THC induced [Ca2+](i) increase and a large transient [Ca2+](i) mobilization, the latter probably reflecting store-depletion-driven capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE). In contrast, CP55,940 induced a rather moderate Ca2+ influx and a sustained [Ca2+](i) mobilization. CP55,940-induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited by Ni2+, indicating CCE, possibly mediated by transient receptor potential channel TRPC1, the mRNA of which is expressed in 16HBE14o(-) cells. CP55,940-induced calcium alterations were mimicked by virodhamine concentrations below 30 microM. Interestingly, higher virodhamine induced an additional Ca2+ entry, insensitive to Ni2+, but sensitive to the TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine, the TRPV1-TRPV4 inhibitor ruthenium red, and the non-CCE (NCCE) inhibitors La3+ and Gd3+. Such pharmacological profile is supported by the presence of TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPC6 mRNAs as well as TRPV1 and TRPC6 proteins in 16HBE14o(-) cells. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists increased virodhamine-induced Ca2+ entry. Virodhamine also enhanced arachidonic acid release, which was insensitive to cannabinoid receptor antagonism, but sensitive to the phospholipase A(2) inhibitor quinacrine, and to capsazepine. Arachidonic acid induced [Ca2+](i) increase similar to virodhamine. Collectively, these observations suggest that [Ca2+](i) alterations induced by Delta(9)-THC, CP55,940 and by low concentrations of virodhamine involve mobilization and subsequent CCE mechanisms, whereas such responses by high virodhamine concentrations involve NCCE pathways.
