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 mechanisms by which glutamatergic neurotransmitters modulate neuronal lipid metabolism are not well established. We have directly measured phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymic activity in cell-free extracts from cortical neuronal cultures from rat brain and have found that the PLA2 activity is up-regulated after cells are exposed to glutamate. Brief exposure to a calcium ionophore or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stably enhanced PLA2 activity. Down-regulation of protein kinase C activity partially blocked glutamate's effects. Two Ca(2+)-and pH-dependent forms of PLA2 were identified in cytosolic extracts. Activation of both forms of PLA2 was enhanced by prior exposure of the cultures to glutamate. One of the two forms had chromatographic characteristics on heparin-Sepharose, Mono Q and Superose 12 columns similar to the 100 kDa cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), and was recognized by an antibody raised to pig spleen cPLA2. The second form was similar in size to Group-I and -II PLA2s but differed in chromatographic characteristics. It was not inhibited by dithiothreitol, and did not react with antibodies to pancreatic Group-I PLA2, features that distinguish it from Group-I and -II PLA2. In extracts from cells pretreated with glutamate, the activity-Ca2+ concentration dose-response relationship of the 13.5 kDa form of PLA2 was shifted to the left with activation at lower Ca2+ concentration as the result of stable modification of the enzyme induced by glutamate. Thus glutamate-induced stable enhancement of PLA2 activity, by processes involving calcium and protein kinase C activation, is a potential molecular switch probably mediating changes in synaptic function and contributing to excitotoxicity.
