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

1 We characterized the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) at the mRNA, protein and mediator level in two rat models of acute inflammation, carrageenan-induced paw oedema and mechanical hyperalgesia. 2 Carrageenan was injected in the hind paw of rat at low (paw oedema) and high doses (hyperalgesia). COX-2 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels were measured by RT-PCR and immunological assays. We also determined the distribution of COX-2 by immunohistochemistry. 3 The injection of carrageenan produced a significant and parallel induction of both COX-2 and PGE2. This induction was significantly higher in hyperalgesia than in paw oedema. This was probably due to the 9 fold higher concentration of carrageenan used to provoke hyperalgesia. 4 Immunohistochemical examination showed COX-2 immunoreactivity in the epidermis, skeletal muscle and inflammatory cells of rats experiencing hyperalgesia. In paw oedema however, only the epidermis showed positive COX-2 immunoreactivity. 5 Pretreatment with indomethacin completely abolished the induction of COX-2 in paw oedema but not in hyperalgesia. 6 These results suggest that multiple mechanisms regulate COX-2 induction especially in the more severe model. In carrageenan-induced paw oedema, prostanoid production have been linked through the expression of the COX-2 gene which suggest the presence of a positive feedback loop mechanism.
