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

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) exerts tropic effects on salivary epithelial cells. We examined EGF-mediated signaling pathways in the salivary epithelial cells of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). We compared the immunohistochemical expression of EGF receptor (EGF-R), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) in the labial salivary glands of SS patients (n = 6) with those of control subjects (n = 2). EGF-mediated signaling pathways were further studied in vitro (n = 3) using primary salivary epithelial cells; NF-kappaB p65 nuclear translocation and Akt phosphorylation were examined by immunofluorescence and western blotting, respectively. The phosphorylation of EGF-R and Akt, and the nuclear expression of NF-kappaB p65, were increased in situ in the salivary epithelial cells of SS patients compared with those of control subjects. Epidermal growth factor induced rapid EGF-R phosphorylation and NF-kappaB p65 nuclear translocation in primary salivary epithelial cells in vitro. However, EGF also induced late Akt phosphorylation (after 12 h). Chemical inhibition of PI3K-Akt by LY294002/wortmannin did not affect EGF-mediated NF-kappaB p65 nuclear translocation; and NF-kappaB inhibition by Bay 11-7082 did not suppress Akt phosphorylation. Our data suggest that EGF stimulates both the PI3K-Akt pathway and NF-kappaB via distinct mechanisms, promoting tropic effects in SS salivary epithelial cells.
