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 neutrophils fMet-Leu-Phe activates phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein and induces granule secretion. We have transfected a human cDNA sequence encoding the fMet-Leu-Phe receptor into the insulin secreting cell line RINm5F to study receptor-effector coupling with special regard to secretion. Stable overexpression resulted in membrane hyperpolarization, reduction of cAMP accumulation and inhibition of insulin secretion upon exposure of cells to fMet-Leu-Phe with EC50 values in the pmol range. As in the neutrophil, nanomolar concentrations of ligand induced membrane depolarization and activation of phospholipase C, with subsequent mobilization and influx of calcium. In permeabilized cells the inhibitory effect of fMet-Leu-Phe on secretion was partially retained indicating a direct action of the fMet-Leu-Phe receptor on exocytosis. Pertussis toxin abolished the effects of fMet-Leu-Phe. Our results suggest conserved coupling from fMet-Leu-Phe receptor to pertussis toxin sensitive transducers analogous to the mechanism in neutrophils. However, the net biological effect of receptor activation is determined by additional factors intrinsic to the host cell.
