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

COS-7 cells transfected with the leukotriene (LT) B4 receptor (BLTR) cDNA were unable to produce LTB4-induced inositol phosphates (IPs) in spite of the presence of endogenous Galphai, Galphaq and Galpha11 proteins. Co-transfection of BLTR with Galpha16, however, resulted in high levels of IP production, which were 17-, 10- and 6-fold higher than with co-transfected Galpha11, Galphaq and Galpha14, respectively. Co-transfection of BLTR with phospholipase C (PLC) beta2, on the other hand, resulted in efficient IP production and co-transfection of BLTR with both Galpha16 and PLCbeta2 resulted in a greater than additive response.
