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

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) regulates cytokines in arthritis and is, in turn, regulated by MAPK kinase (MKK) 3 and MKK6. To modulate p38 function but potentially minimize toxicity, we evaluated the utility of targeting MKK3 by using MKK3(-/-) mice. These studies showed that TNF-alpha increased phosphorylation of p38 in WT cultured synoviocytes but that p38 activation, IL-1beta, and IL-6 expression were markedly lower in MKK3(-/-) synoviocytes. In contrast, IL-1beta or LPS-stimulated p38 phosphorylation and IL-6 production by MKK3(-/-) synoviocytes were normal. Detailed signaling studies showed that NF-kappaB also contributes to IL-6 production and that TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation is MKK3-dependent. In contrast, LPS-mediated activation of NF-kappaB does not require MKK3. To determine whether this dichotomy occurs in vivo, two inflammation models were studied. In K/BxN passive arthritis, the severity of arthritis was dramatically lower in MKK3(-/-) mice. Phospho-p38, phospho-MAPK activator protein kinase 2, IL-1beta, CXC ligand 1, IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3 levels in the joints of MKK3(-/-) mice were significantly lower than in controls. Exogenous IL-1beta administered during the first 4 days of the passive model restored arthritis to the same severity as in WT mice. In the second model, IL-6 production after systemic LPS administration was similar in WT and MKK3(-/-) mice. Therefore, selective MKK3 deficiency can suppress inflammatory arthritis and cytokine production while Toll-like receptor 4-mediated host defense remains intact.
