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

Prostaglandins (PG) of the A series are potent inhibitors of cell proliferation. Recently, it was shown that PGA2-induced growth arrest was associated with the increased synthesis of stress proteins encoded by the HSP70 gene family. In this study, we have examined the molecular basis for this increases HSP70 expression. Northern (RNA) blot analysis and nuclear run-on assays demonstrated that induction of high levels of HSP70 mRNA results from an increase in the rate of transcription. High-level induction is specific to the HSP70 family of heat shock proteins and is rapid, reversible, dose dependent, and specific for PGs capable of growth-arresting HeLa cells. In addition, the response was found to be highly dependent on the growth state of the cells, as induction occurs in growing but not in confluent nongrowing cell populations. Induction is dependent on the activation of heat shock factor. Cycloheximide pretreatment, which inhibits the antiproliferative effects of PGA2, prevents activation of the heat shock factor and induction of HSP70 mRNA by PGA2. These results support a role for HSP70 in mediating the antiproliferative effects of PGA2.
