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

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is known to synergize with phorbol esters in the induction of interleukin-2 (IL-2) expression in T-lymphoid leukemia cells and proliferation of mouse thymocytes. We used a plasmid construct containing the bacterial gene for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase under the control of the human IL-2 promoter to study the nature of this synergism in the murine thymoma cell line EL4. Although IL-1 induction of the IL-2 promoter in these cells required costimulus with phorbol myristate acetate, the signal induced by IL-1 was qualitatively different. We provide evidence to support the hypothesis that the phorbol ester signal is mediated by protein kinase C, and we show that the IL-1 signal is not. That IL-1 and phorbol myristate acetate represent different stimuli was shown by their response to protein kinase C inhibitors, capacity to synergize with increased intracellular free calcium, and requirement for protein synthesis. In addition we show that pretreatment with IL-1 can prime EL4 cells to subsequent activation by concentrations of phorbol esters not normally sufficient to induce IL-2 expression. Pretreated cells remained primed for at least 40 h after removal of the IL-1. Neither phorbol myristate acetate nor a calcium ionophore was capable of preactivating EL4 cells.
