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

In this study, we utilised a number of adenoviral constructs in order to examine the role of intermediates of the NF-kappaB pathway in the regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induction in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated a significant increase in iNOS induction and NF-kappaB DNA binding. These parameters were substantially reduced by overexpression of a wild-type Ikappa-Balpha adenoviral construct (Ad.Ikappa-Balpha), confirming a role for NF-kappaB in iNOS induction. Infection with a dominant-negative IKKalpha adenoviral construct (Ad.IKKalpha+/-) did not significantly affect iNOS induction, NF-kappaB DNA binding or Ikappa-Balpha loss. Infection of RASMCs with adenovirus encoding a dominant-negative IKKbeta (Ad.IKKbeta+/-) essentially abolished iNOS induction and activation of the NF-kappaB pathway. Pretreatment of RASMCs with a novel specific inhibitor of IKKbeta, SC-514, significantly reduced iNOS induction, NF-kappaB DNA binding and I-kappaBalpha loss in a concentration-dependent manner. In both RASMCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), infection with Ad.IKKbeta+/- also inhibited COX-2 expression in response to LPS. However, Ad.IKKalpha+/- was again without effect. These data suggest that IKKbeta plays a predominant, selective role in the regulation of NF-kappaB-dependent induction of iNOS in RASMCs.
