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

To examine the role of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in cell differentiation and neuronal functions, stable transformants of PC12 cells were established that expressed levels of the alpha-subunit of CaMKII (alpha CaMKII) equivalent to mammalian neurons. The expression of the transfected alpha CaMKII gene or the endogenous beta CaMKII gene was monitored by RNase protection assays, and alpha CaMKII protein expression was determined by Western blots. Several PC12-derived clones expressed amounts of alpha CaMKII mRNA and alpha CaMKII protein similar to that of hippocampal tissues and several orders of magnitude greater than untransfected PC12 cells. CaMKII catalytic activity was four times higher in extracts from alpha CaMKII-overexpressing compared with untransfected PC12 cells. All clones overexpressing alpha CaMKII displayed altered cellular growth and adhesion properties including increased cell-to-substrate adhesion, decreased cell-to-cell adhesion, enhanced contact inhibition, and prolonged survival at confluency. Furthermore, the alpha CaMKII activity in overexpressing PC12 cells inhibited neurite elongation during NGF-induced differentiation. Inhibition of CaMKII activity in vivo with KN-62 caused the morphological phenotypes of alpha CaMKII-overexpressing cells to partially revert to that of untransfected PC12 cells. These results show that alpha CaMKII catalytic activity affects growth, morphology, and NGF-induced differentiation of PC12 cells.
