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 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-regulated Cl(-) channel, crucial for epithelial cell regulation of salt and water transport. Previous studies showed that ezrin, an actin binding and A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP), facilitates association of PKA with CFTR. We used immunohistochemistry and immunogold transmission electron microscopy to localize CFTR, ezrin, and PKA type II regulatory (RII) and catalytic (C) subunits in striated duct cells of human parotid and submandibular glands. Immunohistochemistry localized the four proteins mainly to the apical membrane and the apical cytoplasm of striated duct cells. In acinar cells, ezrin localized to the luminal membrane, and PKA RII subunits were present in secretory granules, as previously described. Immunogold labeling showed that CFTR and PKA RII and C subunits were localized to the luminal membrane and associated with apical granules and vesicles of striated duct cells. Ezrin was present along the luminal membrane, on microvilli and along the junctional complexes between cells. Double labeling showed specific protein associations with apical granules and vesicles and along the luminal membrane. Ezrin, CFTR, and PKA RII and C subunits are co-localized in striated duct cells, suggesting the presence of signaling complexes that serve to regulate CFTR activity.
