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

Fraction 1 (F1) protein forms a capsule on the surface of Yersinia pestis. Recently, we reported rF1-induced activation of macrophages. In current investigation, we studied the role of JNK MAPK signal transduction pathway in rF1-induced activation of macrophages in vitro. SP600125, a specific inhibitor of JNK, inhibited JNK MAPK phosphorylation, indicating the specificity of the above response. Though, the rF1-induced phosphorylation of JNK MAPK was also inhibited by upstream protein kinase C inhibitor H7, tyrosine kinase inhibitor genestein and PI3-K inhibitor wotmannin. Activation of the transcription factor NF-kB (phosphorylation of IkB) and c-Jun was observed in response to rF1 treatment. The rF1-induced JNK MAPK activity was correlated to the functional activation of macrophages by demonstrating the inhibition of NO, TNF-alpha production and microtubule polymerization caused by SP600125. Taken together, the data suggests the involvement of JNK MAPK/NF-kB pathway in rF1-induced activation of macrophages.
