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

Using rat mast cells permeabilized with streptolysin O we show that release of arachidonate generally occurs under similar but not identical conditions to those that cause exocytosis of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (hexosaminidase). Thus, hexosaminidase secretion and arachidonate release both require provision of Ca2+ together with a guanine nucleotide but exocytosis occurs at lower concentrations of both effectors. The kinetics of both processes are similar, with a delay in onset only when ATP is present. Arachidonate release occurs largely from a pool of arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine which appears to represent less than 1% of the total phosphatidylcholine of the cells. Despite the general similarity of the conditions causing exocytosis and arachidonate release, our results show that under some circumstances it is possible to obtain exocytosis without measurable release of arachidonate and that therefore phospholipase A2 activation is not an essential precursor of secretion.
