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

background and purposeUp-regulation of proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) is a factor in a number of disease states and we have therefore examined the signalling pathways involved in the expression of the receptor. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We investigated the effects of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), trypsin and the PAR2 activating peptide, 2-furoyl(2f)-LIGKV-OH on both mRNA and functional expression of PAR2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The effect of specific chemical inhibitors and dominant negative adenovirus constructs of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) signalling pathway was assessed. Methods included semi-quantitative and quantitative RT-PCR, [(3)H]inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation and Ca(2+)-dependent fluorescence. KEY

resultsThe above agonists induced both mRNA and functional expression of PAR2; PAR4 mRNA, but not that for PAR1 or PAR-3, also increased following TNFalpha treatment. Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase reduced PAR2 and PAR4 expression, whilst inhibition of MEK1/ERK/JNK was without effect. A similar dependency upon p38 MAP kinase was observed for the expression of PAR4. TNFalpha -induced enhancement of PAR2 stimulated [(3)H]-inositol phosphate accumulation (IP) and Ca(2+) signalling was abolished following SB203580 pre-treatment. Infection with adenovirus encoding dominant-negative IKKbeta (Ad.IKKbeta(+/-)) and to a lesser extent dominant-negative IKKalpha (Ad.IKKalpha(+/-)), substantially reduced both control and IL-1beta- induced expression of both PAR2 and PAR4 mRNA and enhancement of PAR2-stimulated IP accumulation and Ca(2+) mobilisation. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: These data reveal for the first time the signalling events involved in the upregulation of both PAR2 and PAR4 during pro-inflammatory challenge.
