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

Besides the control of calcium levels, the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C (PI-PLCs), the main players in the phosphoinositide signalling pathway, contribute to a number of cell activities. The expression of PI-PLCs is strictly tissue specific and evidence suggests that it varies under different conditions, such as tumour progression or cell activation. In previous studies, we obtained a complete panel of expression of PI-PLC isoforms in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), a widely used experimental model for endothelial cells (EC), and demonstrated that the expression of the PLC genes varies under inflammatory stimulation. The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activates the PI-PLC γ1 isoform. In the present study, PI-PLC expression in FGF-treated HUVEC was performed using RT-PCR, observed 24 h after stimulation. The expression of selected genes after stimulation was perturbed, suggesting that FGF affects gene transcription in PI signalling as a possible mechanism of regulation of its activity upon the AkT-PLC pathway. The most efficient effects of FGF were recorded in the 3-6-h interval. To understand the complex events progressing in EC might provide useful insights for potential therapeutic strategies. The opportunity to manipulate the EC might offer a powerful tool of considerable practical and clinical importance.
