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

Macrophages from Tpl2 knockout (Tpl2(-/-)) mice exhibit a defect in ERK activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This impairs the nucleocytoplasmic transport of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA and prevents the induction of TNF-alpha by LPS. As a result, Tpl2(-/-) mice are resistant to LPS/D-galactosamine-induced shock. We demonstrate that Tpl2 is essential for ERK signals transduced by members of the TNF receptor superfamily, such as CD40 and the TNF receptor 1. Thus, ERK activation was impaired in Tpl2(-/-) B cells and macrophages stimulated with agonistic CD40 antibody or TNF-alpha, whereas the induction of other mitogen-activated protein kinases, such as JNK and p38, and the activation of NF-kappaB were unaffected. Tpl2 was recruited to a CD40/TRAF6 complex in response to CD40 stimulation. Moreover, TRAF6, which when overexpressed activates ERK, failed to do so in Tpl2(-/-) cells. The selective signaling defect resulting from the inactivation of Tpl2 allowed us to demonstrate that CD40-mediated ERK activation contributes to immunoglobulin production but is not essential for B-cell proliferation.
