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

1. Chemotaxis of human neutrophils is mediated by numerous agents [e.g. N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and platelet activating factor (PAF)] whose receptors are coupled to phospholipase C. However, the subsequent transduction pathway mediating cell movement remains obscure. We now propose involvement of mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity in receptor-dependent chemotaxis. 2. Human neutrophils were isolated from whole blood and measurements were made of FMLP or PAF-dependent actin polymerization and chemotaxis. The activity of cell surface Arg-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase was also measured. Each of these activities was inhibited by vitamin K3 and similar IC50 values obtained (4.67 +/- 1.46 microM, 2.0 +/- 0.1 microM and 4.7 +/- 0.1 microM respectively). 3. There were similar close correlations between inhibition of (a) enzyme activity and (b) actin polymerization or chemotaxis by other known inhibitors of mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase, namely vitamin K1, novobiocin, nicotinamide and the efficient pseudosubstrate, diethylamino(benzylidineamino)guanidine (DEA-BAG). 4. Intracellular Ca2+ was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy with two fluorescent dyes (Fluo-3 and Fura-Red). Exposure of human neutrophils to FMLP or PAF was followed by transient increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration, but the inhibitors of mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase listed above had no effect on the magnitude of the response. 5. A panel of selective inhibitors of protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase, protein kinases A and G or phosphatases 1 and 2A showed no consistent inhibition of FMLP-dependent polymerization of actin. 6. We conclude that eukaryotic Arg-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity may be implicated in the transduction pathway mediating chemotaxis of human neutrophils, with involvement in the assembly of actin-containing cytoskeletal microfilaments.
