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

Cell-cell communication is dependent on GJ (gap junction) proteins such as Cx43 (connexin 43). We previously demonstrated the importance of Cx43 function in establishing the enhanced pregnancy vasodilatory phenotype during pregnancy in uterine artery endothelial cells from pregnant (P-UAEC) ewes. Cx43 is regulated by elevating cAMP and PKA (protein kinase A)-dependent Cx43 S365 phosphorylation-associated trafficking and GJ open gating, which is opposed by PKC (protein kinase C)-dependent S368 phosphorylation-mediated GJ turnover and closed gating. However, the role of cyclic nucleotide-mediated signaling mechanisms that control Cx43 and GJ function in P-UAECs is unknown. We hypothesize that cAMP will mediate increases in S365 phosphorylation, thereby, enhancing GJ trafficking and open gating, while cGMP will stimulate S368, but not S365, phosphorylation to enhance GJ turnover and closed gating in P-UAECs. Treatment with 8-Bromo (8-Br)-cAMP signal significantly (
