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

This study investigated the role of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in apoptosis in MIN6 cells, an insulin secreting cell line, and in mouse islets. Thapsigargin, an inhibitor of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCA), caused a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in the viability of MIN6 cells and an increase in DNA fragmentation and nuclear chromatin staining changes characteristic of apoptosis. Two structurally distinct SERCA inhibitors, cyclopiazonic acid and 2,5-di-[t-butyl]-1,4-hydroquinone also caused apoptosis, but agents that increased [Ca2+]i by other mechanisms did not induce apoptosis in MIN6 cells. Carbachol- or ionomycin-releasible intracellular Ca2+ stores were completely depleted in cells treated by SERCA inhibitors, but not by other agents that increase [Ca2+]i. The ability of thapsigargin to induce cell death was not affected by blocking Ca2+ influx or by clamping [Ca2+]i with a cytosolic Ca2+ buffer suggesting that the process did not depend on changes in [Ca2+]i per se. However, application of the lipoxygenase inhibitors 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid partially prevented MIN6 cell apoptosis, while exposure of cells to the product of lipoxygenase, 12-hydroxy-[5,8,10,14]-eicosatetraenoic acid, caused apoptosis. In contrast, inhibition of cyclooxygenase with indomethacin did not abolish thapsigargin-induced apoptosis in MIN6 cells. Our findings indicate that thapsigargin causes apoptosis in MIN6 cells by depleting intracellular Ca2+ stores and leading to release of intermediate metabolites of arachidonic acid metabolism.
