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

Previous studies have demonstrated that low-dose endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide-II (EMAP-II) induces blood-tumor barrier (BTB) hyperpermeability via both paracellular and transcellular pathways. In a recent study, we revealed that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent signaling pathway is involved in EMAP-II-induced BTB hyperpermeability. This study further investigated the exact mechanisms through which the cAMP/PKA-dependent signaling pathway affects EMAP-II-induced BTB hyperpermeability. In an in vitro BTB model, low-dose EMAP-II (0.05 nM) induced a significant decrease in Rac1 activity in rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (RBMECs). Pretreatment with forskolin to elevate intracellular cAMP concentration completely blocked EMAP-II-induced inactivation of Rac1. Besides, pretreatment with 6Bnz-cAMP to activate PKA partially attenuated EMAP-II-induced Rac1 inactivation. Moreover, 6Bnz-cAMP pretreatment significantly diminished EMAP-II-induced changes in BTB permeability, myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, expression and distribution of ZO-1, and actin cytoskeleton arrangement in RBMECs. These effects of 6Bnz-cAMP were completely blocked in the presence of NSC-23766 (the specific inhibitor of Rac1). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that low-dose EMAP-II induces BTB hyperpermeability via the cAMP/PKA/Rac1 signaling pathway.
