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 zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 kDa (ZAP-70), a member of the spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) family, plays an essential role in early T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Defects in ZAP-70 lead to impaired thymocyte development and peripheral T cell activation. To better understand its activation dynamics and regulation, we visualized ZAP-70 activities in single live T cells with a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensor, which was designed for probing kinase activities of the Syk family. We observed in Jurkat E6.1 T cells rapid and specific FRET changes following anti-CD3 stimulation and subsequent piceatannol inhibition. The initiation of ZAP-70 activation was prompt (within 10 s) and correlates with the accompanied intracellular calcium elevation, as revealed by simultaneous imaging of the biosensor and calcium. Different from the previously reported ZAP-70 activation in the immunological synapse and the opposite pole (anti-synapse), we have observed rapid and sustained ZAP-70 activation only at the synapse with superantigen-pulsed Raji B cells. Furthermore, ZAP-70 signaling was impaired by cholesterol depletion, further supporting the importance of membrane organization in TCR signaling. Together our results provide a direct characterization of the spatiotemporal features of ZAP-70 activity in real time at subcellular levels.
