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

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as a key etiologic agent in the pathogenesis of destructive chronic periodontitis. Among virulence factors of this organism are cysteine proteinases, or gingipains, that have the capacity to modulate host inflammatory defenses. Intercellular adhesion molecule expression by vascular endothelium represents a crucial process for leukocyte transendothelial migration into inflamed tissue. Ligation of CD99 on endothelial cells was shown to induce expression of endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and major histocompatibility complex class II molecules and to increase adhesion of leukocytes. CD99 ligation was also found to induce nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. These results indicate that endothelial cell activation by CD99 ligation may lead to the up-regulation of adhesion molecule expression via NF-kappaB activation. However, pretreatment of endothelial cells with gingipains caused a dose-dependent reduction of adhesion molecule expression and leukocyte adhesion induced by ligation of CD99 on endothelial cells. The data provide evidence that the gingipains can reduce the functional expression of CD99 on endothelial cells, leading indirectly to the disruption of adhesion molecule expression and of leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory foci.
