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

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) may be one of the major components involved in cell signalling and proliferation, as suggested by recent studies. In this paper we show that the potent vasoconstrictor and hypertrophic agent angiotensin II (AngII) activates cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) in vascular smooth-muscle cells. AngII induced a rapid time-dependent release of [3H]arachidonic acid from prelabelled cells that was inhibited by mepacrine, a PLA2 inhibitor. AngII treatment of intact cells also activated a cPLA2, as measured in cell-free extracts by the release of radiolabelled arachidonic acid from exogenously added 1-stearoyl-2-[1-14C]arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine. This AngII-stimulated cPLA2 activity was also significantly inhibited by mepacrine. AngII induced a rapid and time-dependent increase in cPLA2 phosphorylation. Protein kinase C (PKC) depletion inhibited both AngII-induced [3H]arachidonic acid release and cPLA2 phosphorylation. Together, these results suggest strongly that (1) AngII phosphorylates and activates cPLA2 in a PKC-dependent manner, and that (2) cPLA2 mediates the AngII-induced [3H]arachidonic acid release in vascular smooth-muscle cells.
