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

We report that sphingosine and short-chain ceramides activate adenylate cyclase and stimulate intracellular cyclic AMP formation in airway-smooth-muscle (ASM) cells. In each case, there is a conditional requirement for GTP-Gs alpha. Sphingosine utilizes a protein kinase C-dependent pathway to elicit activation of adenylate cyclase, whereas for short-chain ceramides the mechanism remains unidentified. In contrast, sphingosine phosphate inhibits Gs-stimulated cyclic AMP formation via a Gi-dependent mechanism. Therefore, the potential interconversion of sphingosine and sphingosine phosphate is a switch that can elicit reciprocal changes in cyclic AMP levels. This may have a significant impact upon the regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal specific kinase (JNK) by sphingolipids and may help to explain how growth factors that utilize these second messengers evoke pleiotropic responses such as proliferation and cell survival. In this context, short-chain ceramides are poor stimulators of ERKs in ASM cells, and sphingosine is inactive, whereas both sphingolipids are powerful activators of the JNK module. Activated JNK catalyses N-terminal phosphorylation of c-Jun, a kinase cascade that programmes growth arrest. Therefore, in blocking ceramide-stimulated ERK-2 activity, cyclic AMP may allow the ceramide-dependent activation of JNK to programme cells to opt out of the cell cycle. In contrast, sphingosine phosphate activates ERK-2, potentiates growth-factor-stimulated DNA synthesis and fails to activate JNK, indicating that its sequential formation from ceramide and sphingosine may commit cells to DNA synthesis. ERK-2 can be activated by both cyclic AMP-sensitive c-Raf-1 kinase-dependent and cyclic AMP-insensitive c-Raf-1 kinase-independent pathways in ASM cells. In this context, sphingosine phosphate activates ERK-2 exclusively via c-Raf-1 kinase. Sphingosine phosphate-stimulated ERK-2 activity is also abolished by pertussis toxin, indicating that c-Raf-1 kinase is activated via a Gi-dependent mechanism.
