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

Previous studies have shown that primary murine macrophages infected with Mycobacterium avium produced lower levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) compared to cells infected with nonpathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis. TNF-alpha and NOS2 levels correlated with and were dependent on the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). To define the macrophage transcriptional responses dependent on ERK1/2 activation following a mycobacterial infection, we used RAW 264.7 cells transfected with a TNF-alpha or NOS2 promoter vector. We determined that macrophages infected with M. avium compared to M. smegmatis showed diminished TNF-alpha and NOS2 promoter activity. A more pronounced difference in promoter activity was observed when only the consensus ETS and NF-kappaB binding sites were used as promoters. Mutational analysis of the ETS and NF-kappaB binding sites present on the TNF-alpha and NOS2 promoters, respectively, showed that these sites were essential for a functional promoter. Moreover, the Ets/Elk but not the NF-kappaB transcriptional response was dependent on ERK1/2. This correlated with the requirement for ERK1/2 in TNF-alpha but not NOS2 promoter activity. Our data indicate that the increased Ets/Elk and NF-kappaB promoter activities associated with M. smegmatis-infected macrophages are responsible, at least in part, for the increased TNF-alpha and NOS2 production observed in these infected cells and that ERK1/2 is required for Ets/Elk activity and full TNF-alpha production.
