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

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induced apoptosis in human hematopoietic U937 cells by itself and in a synergistic manner with tumor necrosis factor (TNF). GM-CSF-induced apoptosis was not inhibited by caspase inhibitors YVAD-CMK, DEVD-CHO and z-VAD-FMK, under the condition that these inhibitors potently suppressed TNF-induced apoptosis. Both GM-CSF and TNF induced caspase 3-like activity in this cell line though the time course was distinct between two cytokines, and combined stimulation of cells with GM-CSF plus TNF induced additive or synergistic activation of caspase 3-like activity. Amount of immunoreactive cleaved forms of caspase 3 recognized by specific antibody was completely dissociated with its enzymatic activity when the cells were stimulated with GM-CSF, but not with TNF. These results indicate that GM-CSF induces apoptosis of U937 cells via unknown pathway, which seems to be mediated by caspase 3-like activity, yet not caspase 3 itself, resistant to the caspase inhibitors, and synergistically interacts with conventional caspase 3 pathway of TNF. Possible involvement of caspases 1 and 8 (-like activity) but not caspase 7 in this pathway was also suggested.
