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

To compare the functional activity of native HMGB1 proteins from eukaryotic sources with HMGB1 from prokaryotic sources the cDNAs of human and murine HMGB1 were cloned and the proteins expressed in bacteria. Tissue-derived HMGB1 from calf thymus and HMGB1 secreted from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were purified. Human whole blood, THP-1 cells, and NIH/3T3 cells were exposed to HMGB1 proteins and the induction of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) release in whole blood and monocytic THP-1 cells and a proliferation assay in NIH/3T3 cells were used to study functional activity of HMGB1s in vitro. Native and recombinant HMGB1s induced TNF-alpha release in human blood and in THP-1 cells dose-dependently, but recombinant HMGB1s were more effective. Cell proliferation was induced by native and recombinant HMGB1s. The native HMGB1 proteins from eukaryotic sources exert the same (though less pronounced) biological activity in vitro as recombinant HMGB1 proteins from prokaryotic sources.
