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 septic shock that occurs in gram-negative infections is caused by a cascade of inflammatory cytokines. Several studies showed that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) inhibits this septic shock through suppression of expression of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory cytokines. In this study, we investigated whether TGF-beta1 inhibition of LPS-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines in the septic shock results from downregulation of LPS-stimulated expression of CD14, an LPS receptor. TGF-beta1 markedly inhibited LPS stimulation of CD14 mRNA and protein levels in mouse macrophages. LPS-stimulated expression of CD14 was dramatically inhibited by addition of antisense, but not sense, c-fos and c-jun oligonucleotides. Since TGF-beta1 pretreatment inhibited LPS-stimulated expression of c-fos and c-jun genes and also the binding of nuclear proteins to the consensus sequence of the binding site for activation protein 1 (AP-1), a heterodimer of c-Fos and c-Jun, in the cells, TGF-beta1 inhibition of CD14 expression may be a consequence of downregulation of AP-1. LPS-stimulated expression of interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha genes in the cells was inhibited by addition of CD14 antisense oligonucleotide. Also, TGF-beta1 inhibited the LPS-stimulated production of both inflammatory cytokines by the macrophages. In addition, TGF-beta1 inhibited expression of the two cytokines in several organs of mice receiving LPS. Thus, our results suggest that TGF-beta1 inhibition of LPS-stimulated inflammatory responses resulted from downregulation of CD14 and also may be a possible mechanism of TGF-beta1 inhibition of LPS-induced septic shock.
