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

The diadenosine polyphosphates diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphate (Ap3A), diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A), diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P5-pentaphosphate (Ap5A) and diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P6-hexaphosphate (Ap6A) all stimulated increases in intracellular Ca2+ in human neutrophils. Maximal increases in intracellular Ca2+ of 650 nM were obtained at dinucleotide concentrations of 500-700 microM. These increases in intracellular, Ca2+ were completely abolished by pre-treatment of the neutrophils with pertussis toxin and were hardly affected when the extracellular buffer was devoid of Ca2+. On the other hand, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) could stimulate much greater increases in intracellular Ca2+ (up to 1.1 microM) at much lower concentrations (half maximal responses obtained at around 5 microM ATP). Receptor de-sensitization experiments indicate that human neutrophils may possess two types of P2-purinoceptors. The first of these may bind ATP (but not the dinucleotides) with high affinity whilst the second may bind the dinucleotides with lower affinity and also bind ATP.
