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

We applied recombinant forms of the Rho-related small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) Rac2 and Cdc42/G25K to permeabilized mast cells to test their ability to regulate exocytotic secretion. Mast cells permeabilized with streptolysin-O leak soluble (cytosol) proteins over a period of 5 min and become refractory to stimulation by Ca2+ and guanosine triphosphate (GTP)gammaS over about 20-30 min. This loss of sensitivity is likely to be due to loss of key regulatory proteins that are normally tethered at intracellular locations. Exogenous proteins that retard this loss of sensitivity to stimulation may be similar, if not identical, to those secretory regulators that are lost. Recombinant Rac and Cdc42/G25K, preactivated by binding GTPgammaS, retard the loss of sensitivity (run-down) and, more importantly, enable secretion to be stimulated by Ca2+ alone. Investigation of the concentration dependence of each of these two GTPases applied individually to the permeabilized cells, and of Cdc42/G25K applied in the presence of an optimal concentration of Rac2, has provided evidence for a shared effector pathway and also a second effector pathway activated by Cdc42/G25K alone. Dominant negative mutant (N17) forms of Rac2 and Cdc42/G25K inhibit secretion induced by Ca2+ and GTPgammaS. Our data suggest that Rac2 and Cdc42 should be considered as candidates for GE, GTPases that mediate exocytosis in cells of hematopoeitic origin.
