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

The G(i)-coupled P2Y(14) receptor (P2Y(14)-R) is potently activated by UDP-sugars and UDP. Although P2Y(14)-R mRNA is prominently expressed in circulating neutrophils, the signaling pathways and functional responses associated with this receptor are undefined. In this study, we illustrate that incubation of isolated human neutrophils with UDP-glucose resulted in cytoskeleton rearrangement, change of cell shape, and enhanced cell migration. We also demonstrate that UDP-glucose promotes rapid, robust, and concentration-dependent activation of RhoA in these cells. Ecto-nucleotidases expressed on neutrophils rapidly hydrolyzed extracellular ATP, but incubation with UDP-glucose for up to 1 h resulted in negligible metabolism of the nucleotide-sugar. HL60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells do not express the P2Y(14)-R, but neutrophil differentiation of HL60 cells with DMSO resulted in markedly enhanced P2Y(14)-R expression. Accordingly, UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose, and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine promoted Rho activation in differentiated but not in undifferentiated HL60 cells. Stable expression of recombinant human P2Y(14)-R conferred UDP-sugar-promoted responses to undifferentiated HL60 cells. UDP-glucose-promoted RhoA activation also was accompanied by enhanced cell migration in differentiated HL60 cells, and these responses were blocked by Rho kinase inhibitors. These results support the notion that UDP-glucose is a stable and potent proinflammatory mediator that promotes P2Y(14)-R-mediated neutrophil motility via Rho/Rho kinase activation.
