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

The present study tested the hypothesis that homocysteine (Hcys)-induced ceramide production stimulates lipid rafts (LRs) clustering on the membrane of glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) to form redox signalling platforms by aggregation and activation of NADPH oxidase subunits and thereby enhances superoxide (O2*-) production, leading to glomerular endothelial dysfunction and ultimate injury or sclerosis. Using confocal microscopy, we first demonstrated a co-localization of LR clusters with NADPH oxidase subunits, gp91(phox) and p47(phox) in the GECs membrane upon Hcys stimulation. Immunoblot analysis of floated detergent-resistant membrane fractions found that in LR fractions NADPH oxidase subunits gp91(phox) and p47(phox) are enriched and that the activity of this enzyme dramatically increased. We also examined the effect of elevated Hcys on the cell monolayer permeability in GECs. It was found that Hcys significantly increased GEC permeability, which was blocked by inhibition of LR redox signalling platform formation. Finally, we found that Hcys-induced enhancement of GEC permeability is associated with the regulation of microtubule stability through these LR-redox platforms. It is concluded that the early injurious effect of Hcys on the glomerular endothelium is associated with the formation of redox signalling platforms via LR clustering, which may lead to increases in glomerular permeability by disruption of microtubule network in GECs.
