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

backgroundMast cells are immune cells derived from hematopoietic precursors that mature in the tissue microenvironment. Mast cells are critical for allergic, immune and inflammatory processes, many of which involve tumor necrosis factor (TNF). These cells uniquely store TNF in their secretory granules. Upon stimulation, mast cells rapidly (30 min) secrete β-hexosaminidase and granule-stored TNF through degranulation, but also increase TNF mRNA and release de novo synthesized TNF 24 h later. The regulation of these two distinct pathways is poorly understood.

methodsHuman LAD2 leukemic mast cells are stimulated by substance P. TNF secretion and gene expression were measured by ELISA and real-time PCR, and mitochondrial dynamics was observed in live cells under confocal microscopy. Cell energy consumption was measured in terms of oxygen consumption rate.

resultsHere, we show that granule-stored TNF is preformed, and its secretion from LAD2 mast cells stimulated by substance P (1) exhibits higher energy consumption and is inhibited by the mitochondrial ATP pump blocker oligomycin, (2) shows rapid increase in intracellular calcium levels, and (3) exhibits reversible mitochondrial translocation, from a perinuclear distribution to the cell surface, as compared to de novo synthesized TNF release induced by lipopolysaccharide. This mitochondrial translocation is confirmed using primary human umbilical cord blood-derived mast cells stimulated by an allergic trigger (IgE/streptavidin).

conclusionOur findings indicate that unique mitochondrial functions distinguish granule-stored from newly synthesized TNF release from human mast cells, thus permitting the versatile involvement of mast cells in different biological processes.
