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

Erk activation is often used as a downstream pathway indicator of TCR signaling, generally in terms of both Erk1 and Erk2 isoforms measured together. In order to investigate potential distinctions between Erk1 and Erk2 regulation and effects downstream of TCR ligation, we generated a series of stable and independent Erk1 and Erk2 shRNA knockdown lines in the 1B6 T cell hybridoma. We observed no compensatory effect by opposite isoform upregulation, and found similar fractions of total phosphorylated Erk1/2 across this epi-allelic series in response to both anti-CD3 and peptide-MHC stimulation of TCR. Moreover, a previous prediction of an isoform-independent linear relationship between Erk activation and IL-2 production was confirmed. The effect of the shRNA-mediated knockdowns in reducing IL-2 production was observed to be stronger than that arising from pharmacological MEK inhibition at comparable degrees of ERK1/2 phosphorylation levels.
