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

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is required for the lipidation of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), although molecular mechanisms supporting this process remain poorly defined. In this study, we focused on the role of cytosolic Ca(2+) and its signaling and found that cytosolic Ca(2+) was required for cholesterol efflux to apoA-I. Removing extracellular Ca(2+) or chelating cytosolic Ca(2+) were equally inhibitory for apoA-I lipidation. We provide evidence that apoA-I induced Ca(2+) influx from the medium. We further demonstrate that calcineurin activity, the downstream target of Ca(2+) influx, was essential; inhibition of calcineurin activity by cyclosporine A or FK506 completely abolished apoA-I lipidation. Furthermore, calcineurin inhibition abolished apoA-I binding and diminished JAK2 phosphorylation, an established signaling event for cholesterol efflux to apoA-I. Finally, we demonstrate that neither Ca(2+) manipulation nor calcineurin inhibition influenced ABCA1's capacity to release microparticles or to remodel the plasma membrane. We conclude that this Ca(2+)-dependent calcineurin/JAK2 pathway is specifically responsible for apoA-I lipidation without directly modifying ABCA1 activity.
