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

Rifampicin and its analogues are increasingly used in the treatment and prophylaxis of mycobacterial infections. Recently, it has been demonstrated that rifampicin binds to and activates glucocorticoid receptors (GR). Glucocorticoids may inhibit or promote apoptosis in various cell types. Therefore, we investigated the effect of rifampicin on anti-CD95-induced apoptosis in Jurkat T cells. Rifampicin, in a concentration-dependent manner, inhibited anti-CD95-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, rifampicin down-regulated the expression of Bax and CD95L and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Flice-inhibitory protein-L (FLIPL); however, rifampicin had no effect on CD95 or XIAP expression. Rifampicin did not inhibit the binding of anti-CD95 monoclonal antibody to CD95 receptor. A GR-specific antagonist RU480 reversed the inhibition of apoptosis by rifampicin. Furthermore, rifampicin failed to inhibit anti-CD95-induced apoptosis in a dominant negative IKBalpha (IKBaM) Jurkat T cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that rifampicin inhibits anti-CD95-induced apoptosis in Jurkat T cells by modulating the expression of various molecules regulating apoptosis and its effect appears to be mediated via GR and at least in part through NF-kappaB signaling pathway.
