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

A role in signal transduction for a vanishingly small labile pool of intracellular zinc ([Zn](i)) has been inferred by the sensitivity of various physiological pathways to zinc chelators such as N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN) and/or associations with changes in nonprotein-bound zinc-sensitive fluorophores. Although we (44) reported that LPS-induced apoptosis in cultured sheep pulmonary artery endothelial cells (SPAEC) was exacerbated by TPEN, 1) we did not detect acute (30 min) changes in [Zn](i), and 2) it is unclear from other reports whether LPS increases or decreases [Zn](i) and whether elevations or decreases in [Zn](i) are associated with cell death and/or apoptosis. In the present study, we used both chemical (FluoZin-3 via live cell epifluorescence microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting) and genetic (luciferase activity of a chimeric reporter encoding zinc-sensitive metal-response element and changes in steady-state mRNA of zinc importer, SLC39A14 or ZIP14) techniques to show that LPS caused a delayed time-dependent (2-4 h) decrease in [Zn](i) in SPAEC. A contributory role of decreases in [Zn](i) in LPS-induced apoptosis (as determined by caspase-3/7 activation, annexin-V binding, and cytochrome c release) in SPAECs was revealed by mimicking the effect of LPS with the zinc chelator, TPEN, and inhibiting LPS- (or TPEN)-induced apoptosis with exogenous zinc. Collectively, these are the first data demonstrating a signaling role for decrease in [Zn](i) in pulmonary endothelial cells and suggest that endogenous levels of labile zinc may affect sensitivity of pulmonary endothelium to the important and complex proapoptotic stimulus of LPS.
