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

This study is aimed to determine the role of calcium signaling evoked by the calcium-mobilizing agonist uridine-5'-triphosphate (UTP) and by the specific inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum calcium reuptake thapsigargin on caspase activation in human leukemia cell line HL-60. We have analyzed cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) determination, mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase-3 and -9 activity by fluorimetric methods, using the fluorescent ratiometric calcium indicator Fura-2, the dye JC-1, and specific fluorogenic substrate, respectively. Our results indicated that treatment of HL-60 cells with 10 microM UTP or 1 microM thapsigargin induced a transient increase in [Ca(2+)](c) due to calcium release from internal stores. The stimulatory effect of UTP and thapsigargin on calcium signal was followed by a mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Our results also indicated that UTP and thapsigargin were able to increase the caspase-3 and -9 activities. The effect of UTP and thapsigargin on caspase activation was time dependent, reaching a maximal caspase activity after 60 min of stimulation. Loading of cells with 10 microM dimethyl BAPTA, an intracellular calcium chelator, for 30 min significantly reduced both UTP- or thapsigargin-induced mitochondrial depolarization and caspase activation. Similar results were obtained when the cells were pretreated with 10 microM Ru360 for 30 min, a specific blocker of calcium uptake into mitochondria. The findings suggest that UTP- and thapsigargin-induced caspase-3 and -9 activation and mitochondrial membrane depolarization is dependent on rises in [Ca(2+)](c) in human myeloid HL-60 cells.
