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

T cell receptor activation induces inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP(3))-mediated calcium signaling that is essential for cell metabolism and survival. Moreover, inhibitors of IP(3) or pharmacological agents that disrupt calcium homeostasis readily induce autophagy. Using a glucocorticoid-sensitive CD4/CD8 positive T cell line, we found that dexamethasone prevented both IP(3)-mediated and spontaneous calcium signals within a timeframe that correlated with the induction of autophagy. We determined that this loss in IP(3)-mediated calcium signaling was dependent upon the downregulation of the Src kinase Fyn at the mRNA and protein level. Because it has previously been shown that Fyn positively regulates IP(3)-mediated calcium release by phosphorylating Type I IP(3) receptors (IP(3)R1), we investigated the effect of glucocorticoids on IP(3)R1 phosphorylation at Tyr353. Accordingly, glucocorticoid-mediated downregulation of Fyn prevented IP(3)R1 phosphorylation at Tyr353. Moreover, selective knockdown of Fyn or treatment with a Src inhibitor also attenuated IP(3)-mediated calcium release and induced autophagy. Collectively, these data indicate that glucocorticoids promote autophagy by inhibiting IP(3)-dependent calcium signals. These findings carry important therapeutic implications given the widespread use of dexamethasone as both a chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive agent.
