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

Following adherence of neutrophils to the endothelium, neutrophils undergo a major morphological change that is a necessary prelude to their extravasation. We show here that this shape change is triggered by an elevation of cytosolic inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3), to provoke physiological Ca(2+) influx through a store-operated mechanism. This transition from a spherical to 'flattened' neutrophil morphology is rapid (∼100 seconds) and is accompanied by an apparent rapid expansion of the area of the plasma membrane. However, no new membrane is added into the plasma membrane. Pharmacological inhibition of calpain-activation, which is triggered by Ca(2+) influx during neutrophil spreading, prevents normal cell flattening. In calpain-suppressed cells, an aberrant form of cell spreading can occur where an uncoordinated and localised expansion of the plasma membrane is evident. These data show that rapid neutrophil spreading is triggered by Ca(2+) influx, which causes activation of calpain and release of furled plasma membrane to allow its apparent 'expansion'.
