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

Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) induced a characteristic, dose-dependent release of histamine and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) from rat peritoneal mast cells. The process was relatively slow, non-cytotoxic, maximal at physiological pH and dependent on external calcium. Strontium and barium ions were able to substitute for calcium, although higher concentrations were required for maximal release. Cells stimulated in the absence of calcium progressively lost the ability to respond to subsequent reintroduction of the cation. The secretion of histamine induced by ATP was largely unaffected by the anti-asthmatic drugs disodium cromoglycate and nedocromil sodium but was inhibited by structurally related flavonoids and by cAMP-active drugs. Importantly, the non-hydrolysable guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) analogue, GTP-gamma-S, elicited a dose-dependent release of histamine when introduced into mast cells permeabilized with ATP in the absence of external calcium. ATP thus appears to be a useful cell permeabilizing tool with which to study the biochemical processes involved in mast cell activation.
