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

Interleukin (IL)-8 is a potent neutrophil chemoattractant that drives the inflammatory response in cystic fibrosis (CF). Traditional approaches to the pathophysiology of this inflammation have focused on targeting NF-kappaB-dependent signaling and therapy with glucocorticoids. We test the hypothesis that an alternative pathway, independent of NF-kappaB, operates through prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) receptor EP-2 and stimulates IL-8 chemokine secretion. Using CF bronchial epithelial cells (IB3-1) in vitro, exogenous PGE-2 induces IL-8 release in a dose-dependent manner. These events are associated with elevation in the EP-2 receptors. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 with NS-398 was associated with reductions in Cox-2 (2-fold) and IL-6 (1.3-fold) mRNA transcripts, and in IL-8 and PGE-2 chemokine secretion. The inhibition of Cox-2 signaling led to down-regulation of the downstream C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) transcription factor, resulting in a decrease in IL-8 activation. We confirmed the regulation of IL-8 promoter by CHOP in CF cells using the IL-8 reporter assay. We conclude that PGE-2 stimulates IL-8 production through the CHOP transcription factor in CF cells.
