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 small GTP-binding protein Rac plays a pivotal role in the regulation of diverse physiological events including reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell cycle progression, and transformation. Here we show an anti-apoptotic effect of Rac in interleukin-3-dependent murine hematopoietic BaF3 cells. Activated Rac(G12V), when ectopically expressed in BaF3 cells, rendered the cells resistant to apoptosis upon interleukin-3 deprivation, while activated mutants of Rho and Cdc42 displayed no significant anti-apoptotic effect. In contrast to activated Ras, which also supports cell survival in the absence of interleukin-3, Rac required fetal bovine serum for the prevention of cell death. The involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase downstream of Rac was demonstrated by the inhibition of Rac-induced cell survival by wortmannin and LY294002 and the presence of phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in the Rac immunoprecipitate. Furthermore, the serine/threonine kinase Akt was stimulated by activated Rac and fetal bovine serum in a synergistic manner. Rac-induced Akt activation was mediated by phosphorylation of threonine-308 and serine-473. In addition to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway, the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway was crucial for Rac-dependent survival, whereas p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase nas not implicated in Ras-induced anti-apoptotic signaling. These findings provide evidence for the involvement of Rac in survival signaling of hematopoietic cells.
