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

Cell surface blebbing is an early, reversible characteristic of anoxia described in several different cell types. Blebbing may lead to the formation of large terminal blebs, and ultimately cell death upon rupture of the membrane. In the present work, evidence is presented indicating that Pi may be the immediate mediator of cell surface blebbing: (1) cell surface blebbing can be induced in normoxic Ehrlich ascites tumour cells by a high extracellular concentration of Pp leading to an increase in the cellular Pi concentration; (2) anoxia induces sustained elevation of the cellular Pi concentration and (3) cell surface blebbing during anoxia is reversed upon reoxygenation, and the disappearance of blebbing depends on the decrease in cellular Pi concentration. The rate of disappearance of blebs may be enhanced by the simultaneous addition of adenine and inosine to the growth medium. This leads to a decrease in cellular Pi concentration and to an almost complete restoration of the cellular ATP concentration. It is suggested that Pi is an important mediator of anoxia induced cell damage.
