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

Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications. It is clear that the single step of beta-1,4-galactosylation is performed by a family of beta-1, 4-galactosyltransferases (beta-1,4-GalTs), and that each member of this family may play a distinct role in different tissues and cells. beta-1,4-GalT I and V are involved in the biosynthesis of N-linked oligosaccharides. beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs are present in control astrocytes and affected by TNF-alpha and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimuli. In this study, we examined the regulatory mechanisms of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-affected production of beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs. We show here that cultured astrocytes express TNF-alpha receptor 1 (TNFR1) and increased slightly after exposure to LPS. TNF-alpha and TNFR2 are not detected in control astrocytes and upregulated significantly with LPS stimulation and that activation of these receptors by TNF-alpha affects expressions of beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs. In addition, we observed that not only exogenous TNF-alpha but also TNF-alpha produced by astrocytes affected beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs production in astrocytes. These results suggest that an autocrine loop involving TNF-alpha contributes to the production of beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNA in response to inflammation.
