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

Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor β (RhoGDIβ), a regulator of the Rho family of proteins, is expressed abundantly in the hematopoietic cell lineage. During apoptosis of hematopoietic cells, RhoGDIβ is cleaved by caspase‑3 at Asp19 and this cleaved form (Δ19‑RhoGDIβ) has been implicated in the apoptotic pathway. To clarify the role of RhoGDIβ in hematopoietic cells, the present study performed immunoblotting and immunofluorescence staining to examine the expression of RhoGDIβ and ∆19‑RhoGDIβ during phorbol 12‑myristate 13‑acetate (PMA)‑stimulated differentiation of human THP‑1 monocytic cells to macrophages. During differentiation of the THP‑1 cells to macrophages, the expression of RhoGDIβ remained stable; however, the expression of Δ19‑RhoGDIβ increased, particularly in well‑spreading, non‑apoptotic cells, which differentiated into macrophages. These results suggested that Δ19‑RhoGDIβ has an apoptosis‑independent role in the PMA‑induced differentiation of THP‑1 cells to macrophages.
