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

Mast cells permeabilized by treatment with streptolysin-O in the presence of Ca2+ and GTP-gamma-S can secrete almost 100% of their contained N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase. If these stimuli are provided to the permeabilized cells after a delay, the response is diminished and the ability of the cells to undergo secretion runs down progressively over a period of about 30 min. This is thought to be due to the loss of key proteins involved in the exocytotic mechanism. Using this effect as the basis of a biological assay, we have isolated a protein from bovine brain cytosol that retards the loss of responsiveness to stimulation by Ca2+ and GTP-gamma-S. Purification of this protein and peptide sequencing have enabled us to identify it as the small GTP-binding protein rac complexed to the guanine nucleotide exchange inhibitor rhoGDI. Both proteins are required to retard the loss of the secretory response, while purified rhoGDI applied alone accelerates the rundown.
