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

In a search for a model cell system that might allow studies of the function of the Rho-related GTPase CDC42Hs in human cells, we measured the content and distribution of CDC42Hs in monocytes that were differentiating into macrophages. The total content of this protein increased 5- to 6-fold in phorbol ester-treated human monocytic THP-1 and U-937 cells and increased 13-fold in normal human blood monocytes. Moreover, membrane-associated CDC42Hs in these cells increased 13-fold and 30-fold, respectively, while cytosolic CDC42Hs increased only 3- and 6-fold. Measurements made specifically in U-937 cells showed that the increase in membrane CDC42Hs correlated closely with an increase in cell spreading. The changes in CDC42Hs in U-937 cells probably depended on increased mRNA translation and/or decreased protein degradation, since no change in CDC42Hs mRNA could be detected. Finally, the changes in CDC42Hs were relatively specific, since contents of the CDC42Hs-binding protein Rho-GDI and the Rho-related protein Rac2 were unaffected and no change in CDC42Hs occurred when the cells were stimulated by agonists that induce monocytes to differentiate into nonadherent cells. These findings show that marked changes in content and distribution of CDC42Hs occur when monocytes differentiate into macrophages, suggesting that membrane CDC42Hs may play a role in cell spreading.
