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

Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is one of the key factors that mediate TNF signaling. The deletion of TRAF2 renders cells more sensitive to TNF-induced apoptosis. Although TRAF2 is known to be required for TNF-induced JNK and NF-kappaB activation, the underlying mechanism of the increased sensitivity of TRAF2 null cells (TRAF2(-/-)) to TNF-induced apoptosis is not fully understood. To study the underlying mechanism, we examined the difference in gene expression between TRAF2(-/-) and wild-type fibroblast cells by using microarray technology. We found that one of the genes whose expression was dramatically decreased in TRAF2(-/-) cells was the lung Krüppel-like factor (LKLF). Our results indicate that the expression of LKLF requires TRAF2 but is independent of TNF signaling. Although it appears that TRAF2 regulates the expression of the LKLF gene at the transcription level, TRAF2 does not function as a transcription factor itself. Our results suggest that TRAF2 regulates LKLF expression through the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 pathway. More importantly, ectopic expression of LKLF in TRAF2(-/-) cells protected cells against TNF-induced apoptosis. These results reveal a novel aspect of TRAF2 function: by regulating the expression of genes, such as LKLF, TRAF2 controls cell sensitivity to apoptosis.
