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

Shiga toxin (Stx) 1 binds to the glycosphingolipid (GSL) globotriaosylceramide (Gb3Cer/CD77) and injures human endothelial cells. In order to gain insight into Stx1-induced cellular impairment, we analysed in detail the molecular heterogeneity of Stx1 receptors in two endothelial cell lines differing in their Stx1-sensitivity. We observed a moderate sensitivity to Stx1 of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs, CD(50) > 200 ng/ml), but a considerably higher mortality rate in cultures of EA.hy 926 cells, a cell line derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (CD(50) of 0.2 ng/ml). Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated the presence of Gb3Cer in both cell lines, but showed an enhanced content of Gb3Cer in EA.hy 926 cells. Solid phase overlay binding assays of isolated GSLs combined with nanoelectrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry demonstrated a balanced proportion of Gb3Cer and globotetraosylceramide (Gb4Cer) in HBMECs, but an increase of Gb3Cer and absence of Gb4Cer in EA.hy 926 cells. Gb3Cer species with C24:1/C24:0 fatty acids were found to dominate over those with C16:0 fatty acids in EA.hy 926 cells, but were similarly distributed in HBMECs. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction indicated the concomitant presence of Gb3Cer and Gb4Cer synthases in HBMECs, whereas EA.hy 926 cells expressed Gb3Cer synthase, but completely lacked Gb4Cer synthase. This deficiency, resulting in the accumulation of Gb3Cer in EA.hy 926 cells, represents the most prominent molecular reason that underlies the different Stx1 sensitivities of HBMECs and EA.hy 926 endothelial cells.
