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 early response gene IEX-1 is involved in the regulation of cellular growth and survival, and its expression is related to stress-, growth- and death-inducing signals. Addressing the role of IEX-1 in the promotion of apoptosis, we investigated the effect of IEX-1 on nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. Stably transfected HEK-293 cells conditionally overexpressing IEX-1 exhibit decreased levels of NF-kappaB activity, either basal or TNFalpha induced, as shown by gel-shift and luciferase reporter gene assay. Furthermore, activated p65 accumulated in the nuclei of 293 cells to a lower degree, if IEX-1 expression was increased. This inhibited NF-kappaB activation was preceded by an altered turnover of IkappaBalpha and phospho-IkappaBalpha. In addition, IEX-1 expression also inhibited the activity of the 26S-proteasome, as shown by a fluorometric proteasome assay. Conversely, disruption of IEX-1 expression in 293 cells by stable transfection with specific anti-IEX-1 hammerhead ribozymes increased NF-kappaB activity, and accelerated the degradation of IkappaBalpha. Along with these opposite effects of IEX-1 expression and IEX-1 disruption on NF-kappaB activation, the sensitivity of 293 cells towards various apoptotic stimuli also changed. In contrast to ribozyme-transduced 293 cells that were significantly less sensitive to apoptosis, this sensitivity was enhanced if IEX-1 expression was increased. Our data suggest that IEX-1 - itself an NF-kappaB target gene - inhibits the activation of this transcription factor, and hereby may counteract the antiapoptotic potential of NF-kappaB.
