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

backgroundCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is proposed to be involved in the regulation of the proliferative capacity of keratinocytes, based on its significant actions in the skin. These are mediated by CRH-R1alpha and represented by adenylate cyclase activation, Ca2+ influx, inhibition of cell proliferation and modifications in intracellular signal transduction by NF-kappaB.

objectivesTo define CRH action in the cell cycle we investigated its effects on the differentiation programme using the HaCaT keratinocytes model.

methodsHaCaT keratinocytes were incubated with CRH in Dulbecco's modified Eagles's medium (containing 1.8 mmol L(-1) calcium) or EpiLife (containing 0.06 mmol L(-1) calcium) medium. Cell proliferation was assessed with the MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used for the measurement of DNA content, cell size and granularity and the expression of cytokeratin 14, cytokeratin 1 and involucrin. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay was used to determine DNA binding activity by AP-1 transcription factor. Expression of cytokeratin 1 was also assessed with immunofluorescence microscopy.

resultsCRH did produce inhibition of proliferation, which was dose-dependent; the shape of the inhibition curve was determined by the media calcium concentration. CRH action was pinpointed at inhibition of the G0/1 to the S phase transition of the cell cycle. CRH also increased AP-1 binding activity, cell granularity, cytokeratin 1 and involucrin expression, and inhibited cytokeratin 14 expression.

conclusionsThese results are consistent with CRH induction of the keratinocyte differentiation programme. Thus, the overall CRH cutaneous actions connote protective functions for the epidermis, that appear to include the triggering or acceleration of the differentiation programme.
