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 ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is the principal system for extralysosomal protein degradation in eukaryotic cells, and is essential for the regulation and maintenance of basic cellular processes, including differentiation, proliferation, cell cycling, gene transcription and apoptosis. The 26S proteasome, a large multicatalytic protease complex, constitutes the system's proteolytic core machinery that exhibits different proteolytic activities residing in defined proteasomal subunits. We have identified proteasome inhibitors - bortezomib, epoxomicin and lactacystin - which selectively inhibit the proteasomal beta5 subunit-located chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). Inhibition of proteasomal chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity in immature and mature DCs impairs the cell-surface expression of CD40, CD86, CD80, human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, CD206 and CD209, induces apoptosis, and impairs maturation of DCs, as demonstrated by decreased cell-surface expression of CD83 and lack of nuclear translocation of RelA and RelB. Inhibition of chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity abrogates macropinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis of macromolecular antigens in immature DCs, and inhibits the synthesis of interleukin (IL)-12p70 and IL-12p40 in mature DCs. As a functional consequence, DCs fail to stimulate allogeneic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and autologous CD4(+) T cells sufficiently in response to inhibition of chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity. Thus, proteasomal chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity is required for essential functions of human DCs, and inhibition of proteasomal chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity by selective inhibitors, or by targeting beta5 subunit expression, may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for suppression of deregulated and unwanted immune responses.
