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

Cadmium is a carcinogen whose genotoxicity is only weak. Besides its tumor-initiating capacity, cadmium may be tumor-promoting, since it interferes with several steps of cellular signal transduction. We have investigated effects of cadmium(II) on protein kinase C (PKC), which is a key enzyme in the control of cellular growth and differentiation. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters cause an activation and translocation of PKC from the cytosol to the plasma membrane and to the nucleus of mammalian cells. In mouse 3T3/10 T 1/2 fibroblasts, cadmium(II) potentiated the effect of phorbol ester on nuclear binding and activation of PKC. Furthermore, in a reconstituted system consisting of rat liver nuclei and rat brain PKC, cadmium stimulated the binding of the enzyme to a 105-kDa protein. We propose a model in which cadmium(II) substitutes for zinc(II) in the regulatory domain of PKC, thus rendering the putative protein-protein binding site exposed. Further work is required to elucidate the potential role of the nuclear PKC binding protein(s) in the control of cell proliferation.
