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 activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a critical event in hepatic fibrosis, because these cells are the main producers of extracellular matrix proteins in the liver and contribute to the modulation of inflammatory responses via the secretion of several cytokines and the expression of adhesion molecules. The goal of the present study was to characterize cell surface proteins that regulate HSC activation. To this end, a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was generated. mAb 14.27 recognized a protein of 45 kd that was highly expressed on HSCs. Affinity purification of this protein followed by sequencing revealed that protein to be CD38. We subsequently demonstrated that CD38 was constitutively expressed by HSCs and that its expression increased after in vitro and in vivo activation. mAb 14.27 induced an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ levels in HSCs, showing that it functions as an agonistic antibody. Moreover, the effects mediated by the CD38 mAb included induction of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 and up-regulation of the adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and neural cell adhesion molecule. Collectively, our data suggest that CD38 can act as a regulator of HSC activation and effector functions.
