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

We examined the hypothesis that post-burn activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is one aspect of the signalling cascade culminating in post-burn secretion of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha which contributes to post-burn myocardial apoptosis. Studies were designed to determine the time course of the induction of p38MAPK, TNF-alpha and myocardial apoptosis after burn injury. Our quantitative bacterial culture data demonstrated that viable bacteria reached the heart, and Western blotting data identified the increase in the phosphorylation of p38MAPK at an early time after burn. The peak incidence of myocardial apoptosis was also seen at an early time after burn. The expression of TNF-alpha mRNA, infiltrated neutrophils and serum creatine phosphokinase myocardial band data peaked at a late time after burn. FR167653, a specific inhibitor of p38MAPK, prevented the induction of myocardial apoptosis, TNF-alpha expression and myocardial injury after burn. Presumably, the bacterial LPS-induced activation of p38MAPK pathway occurring at an early time after burn induced the subsequent myocardial apoptosis. The p38MAPK-induced activation of pro-inflammatory cytokine appeared to promote the degenerative myocardial injury at a late time after burn. Our present data provided evidence for the hypothesis that the p38MAPK pathway controls both myocardial apoptosis and the pro-inflammatory mediator.
