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

Serum stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts leads to a dramatic depolarization of the plasma membrane; however, the identity of the active serum factor(s) and the underlying mechanism are unknown. We find that this serum activity is attributable to albumin-bound lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) acting on its own G protein-coupled receptor, and that membrane depolarization is due to activation of an anion conductance mediating Cl- efflux. This depolarizing Cl- current can also be activated by thrombin and neuropeptide receptors; it is distinct from volume-regulated Cl- currents. Activation of the Cl- current consistently follows stimulation of phospholipase C and coincides with remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton, which is regulated by the Ras-related GTPase Rho. However, the response is not due to Ca2+/protein kinase C signalling and requires neither Rho nor Ras activation. The results indicate that in quiescent fibroblasts, LPA and other G protein-coupled receptor agonists evoke membrane depolarization by activating a new type of Cl- channel through a signalling pathway that is closely associated with phosphoinositide hydrolysis, yet independent of known second messengers.
