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

. In this study, we examined the role of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in the effects of verotoxins (VTs), from Escherichia coli O157:H7, upon both apoptosis and the release of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulated factor (GM-CSF) from human monocytes. 2. Both VT1 and VT2 stimulated a weak, transient increase in c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity and a strong activation of both p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) and extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) activity in human monocytes, which was sustained in the case of p38 MAP kinase. 3. Stimulation of human monocytes with VT2 (100 ng ml-1) did not result in an increase in apoptosis; however, the toxin stimulated the release of both TNF-alpha and GM-CSF. 4. Pretreatment of human monocytes with the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB203580, at concentrations from 100 nM to 10 microM, significantly decreased the VT1- and VT2-induced TNF-alpha and GM-CSF release from monocytes. In contrast, inhibition of MEK1 with PD98059 only significantly decreased GM-CSF release. 5. Pretreatment of monocytes with SP600125 inhibited both GM-CSF and TNF-alpha production; however, significant effects upon p38 MAP kinase and ERK activation were observed. 6. Taken together, these results suggest a role for p38 MAP kinase and ERK in cytokine generation in response to the verotoxins. A role for JNK remains undetermined.
