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

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulated high-affinity GTPase activity in membranes of Rat 1 fibroblasts. This effect was dose-dependent, with maximal effects at 10 microM LPA, and was attenuated by pertussis toxin but not by cholera toxin pretreatment of the cells, indicating that the effect was likely to be produced by a Gi-like G-protein. LPA stimulation of high-affinity GTPase was also observed in a clone of Rat 1 fibroblasts that had been transfected to express the human alpha 2C10 adrenoceptor. The alpha 2 adrenoceptor agonist UK14304 also stimulated high-affinity GTPase activity in membranes of these cells, but not in parental Rat 1 cells. LPA was also able to promote cholera toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of Gi. This effect of LPA was also prevented by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin but not cholera toxin. LPA-stimulated cholera toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of Gi in membranes of the alpha 2C10 adrenoceptor-expressing clone was additive with that produced by UK14304. Dose-response curves for LPA in the two assays of G-protein activation were coincident. The results presented herein demonstrate conclusively that the pertussis toxin-sensitive effects of LPA in Rat 1 fibroblasts and a clone of these cells expressing the alpha 2C10 adrenoceptor are produced directly by the activation of Gi.
