Geranylgeranylacetone induces cyclooxygenase-2 expression in cultured rat gastric epithelial cells through NF-kappaB.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) effectively protects the gastric mucosa against noxious agents. The precise mechanisms underlying the gastroprotective actions of GGA are not known. To elucidate the precise mechanism of GGA, the effect of GGA treatment on COX-2 expression in rat gastric epithelial (RGM1) cells was investigated. We used a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) enzyme-linked immunoassay kit and Western blot analysis to measure PGE2 production and COX-2 induction by GGA treatment in serum-starved RGM1 cells. Gel-shift assay, Western blot analysis, and a reporter assay were performed to determine which COX-2 promoter was involved in GGA-induced COX-2 expression. GGA treatment dose dependently increased COX-2 expression and PGE2 production. The nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB sites of the COX-2 gene promoter were critical for GGA-mediated COX-2 expression. GGA induces COX-2 expression and increases PGE2 production in serum-starved RGM1 cells via activation of the NF-kappaB sites of COX-2 gene promoters.
