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

The effects of the inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta), TDZD-8 and SB 415286, which can substantially reduce the systemic inflammation associated with endotoxic shock in vivo, have now been investigated on the acute colitis provoked by trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) in the rat. Administration of the GSK-3beta inhibitor TDZD-8 (0.1, 0.33 or 1.0 mg kg-1, s.c., b.i.d., for 3 days) caused a dose-dependent reduction in the colonic inflammation induced by intracolonic TNBS assessed after 3 days, both as the area of macroscopic involvement and as a score using 0-10 scale. Likewise, following administration of the GSK-3beta inhibitor SB 415286 (0.1, 0.33 or 1.0 mg kg-1, s.c., b.i.d., for 3 days), the extent and degree of the TNBS-provoked colonic inflammation was reduced. Administration of either TDZD-8 or SB 415286 reduced the fall in body weight following challenge with TNBS at each dose level studied. The increase in myeloperoxidase activity, an index of neutrophil infiltration into the TNBS-induced inflamed colon, was significantly inhibited by both TDZD-8 and SB 415286 at each dose level. The increase in the levels of the proinflammatory cytokine, TNF-alpha, in the inflamed colon was also significantly inhibited by either compound at the highest doses evaluated. The elevated levels of the transcription factor NF-kappaB subunit p65, as determined by Western blot in the nuclear extracts from the TNBS-provoked inflamed colonic tissue, were dose-dependently reduced by TDZD-8 or SB 415286 treatment. These findings demonstrate that two chemically distinct selective inhibitors of the activity of GSK-3beta reduce the inflammation and tissue injury in a rat model of acute colitis. The mechanisms underlying this anti-inflammatory action may be related to downregulation of NF-kappaB activity, involved in the generation of proinflammatory mediators.
