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

Adenosine (ADO) is an extracellular signaling molecule that is an important regulator of innate lung defense. On binding ADO, the A2B receptor (A2BR) stimulates cAMP production to activate the CFTR Cl(-) channel, increase ciliary beating, and initiate cytokine secretion. We tested the hypothesis that CFTR served as a positive regulator of the A2BRs. We found that A2BR and CFTR coimmunoprecipitated. They also underwent ADO-dependent Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), which increased from 5% in the absence of agonist to 18% with 100 μM ADO (EC₅₀ 1.7 μM), suggesting that they dynamically associate in the plasma membrane. In contrast, despite colocalization, no FRET was observed between CFTR and GAP43. The interaction between A2BR and CFTR had some specificity: A2BR-stimulated but not forskolin-stimulated cAMP production was ~50% greater in the presence of CFTR, due to a CFTR-dependent increase in plasma membrane A2BR levels. These CFTR-dependent increases in A2BR levels and cAMP production resulted in significantly enhanced ciliary beating and increased cytokine secretion in normal compared to cystic fibrosis airway epithelia. Thus, we hypothesize that CFTR regulates A2BR levels in the plasma membrane to modulate cell signaling and to enhance selective components of the innate lung defense system.
