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

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) form the first line of defense against invading microorganisms. We have shown previously that ATP release and autocrine purinergic signaling via P2Y2 receptors are essential for PMN activation. Here we show that mitochondria provide the ATP that initiates PMN activation. Stimulation of formyl peptide receptors increases the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and triggers a rapid burst of ATP release from PMNs. This burst of ATP release can be blocked by inhibitors of mitochondrial ATP production and requires an initial formyl peptide receptor-induced Ca(2+) signal that triggers mitochondrial activation. The burst of ATP release generated by the mitochondria fuels a first phase of purinergic signaling that boosts Ca(2+) signaling, amplifies mitochondrial ATP production, and initiates functional PMN responses. Cells then switch to glycolytic ATP production, which fuels a second round of purinergic signaling that sustains Ca(2+) signaling via P2X receptor-mediated Ca(2+) influx and maintains functional PMN responses such as oxidative burst, degranulation, and phagocytosis.
