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

backgroundInterleukin-1 (IL-1), an inflammatory cytokine whose levels are elevated in inflamed mucosa, causes part of its effect on intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) through inducing ceramide production.

aimTo study the role of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), a pro-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic factor, in IL-1-treated IEC.

methodsNF-kappaB activity and levels of apoptotic proteins were assessed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and RNA-protection assay, respectively.

resultsIL-1 and ceramide, which have been shown to partially mediate IL-1 effects on IEC, activated NF-kappaB levels significantly. This activation was due to a decrease in IkappaB-alpha and IkappaB-beta protein levels. Moreover, the ratio of mRNA levels of anti-apoptotic to pro-apoptotic proteins was significantly increased in IL-1-treated IEC.

conclusionNF-kappaB may play a key role in the regulation of the expression of pro-inflammatory and/or apoptotic genes in inflammatory bowel disease, making this protein an attractive target for therapeutic intervention.
