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

Endothelial plasma membrane lipid microdomains, so called lipid rafts/caveolae, are rich in neutral glycosphingolipid, globotriaosylceramide, Gb3Cer, or CD77. Several plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels and pumps are located in lipid rafts/caveolae. Increased Ca(2+) influx could cause the development of an endothelial proinflammatory phenotype. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the effects of hypercalcemia in rats by determination of CD77 expression on CD34+ endothelial cells in the heart, kidney, and vena cava. In addition, potential proinflammatory calcium effect was estimated by CD11b and CD15s expression on leukocytes. To achieve hypercalcemia, Sprague-Dawley male rats were given CaCl2 solution with a concentration of 1.5 % elemental calcium during 14 days. CD77 expression on CD34+ endothelial cells in cell suspensions of the heart, kidney, and vena cava, as well as leukocyte expression of CD11b and CD15s in hypercalcemic and control rats were determined by flow cytometry. Ionized calcium concentration in plasma was 1.37 ± 0.01 mM in hypercalcemic vs. 1.19 ± 0.03 mM in control rats. Hypercalcemic group showed statistically significantly decreased proportion of endothelial CD34+ CD77- cells in the kidney and vena cava in parallel with increase of CD11b and CD15s leukocyte proinflammatory markers. In conclusion, it is tempting to speculate that plasma membranes of glycosphingolipid CD77- endothelial cells are poorer in caveolae lipid microdomains and therefore weaker in controlling of Ca(2+) influx. The percentage of CD11b+ CD15s+ leukocytes could be a measure of proinflammatory effects of mild hypercalcemia.
