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

Pretreatment with cytochalasin B, which is known to disrupt microfilaments, significantly inhibits regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, suggesting that an intact microfilament network is a prerequisite for a normal RVD response. Colchicine, which is known to disrupt microtubules, has no significant effect on RVD. Ehrlich cells have a cortical three-dimensional, orthogonal F-actin filament network which makes the cells look completely black in light microscopy following immunogold/silver staining using anti-actin antibodies. After addition of cytochalasin B, the stained cells get lighter with black dots localized to the plasma membrane and appearance of multiple knobby protrusions at cell periphery. Also, a significant decrease in the staining of the cells is seen after 15 min of RVD in hypotonic medium. This microfilament reorganization appears during RVD in the presence of external Ca2+ or Ca(2+)-ionophore A23187. It is, however, abolished in the absence of extracellular calcium, with or without prior depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. An effect of increased calcium influx might therefore be considered. The microfilament reorganization during RVD is abolished by the calmodulin antagonists pimozide and trifluoperazine, suggesting the involvement of calmodulin in the process. The microfilament reorganization is also prevented by addition of quinine. This quinine inhibition is overcome by addition of the K+ ionophore valinomycin.
