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

backgroundProstaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) suppresses, while indomethacin and aspirin enhance, eosinophil production in murine liquid bone-marrow cultures. Because cysteinyl leukotrienes (cys-LTs) enhance human eosinophil colony formation, we investigated whether the effects of indomethacin and aspirin on murine bone-marrow were due to blockade of PGE(2) production alone, or involved further promotion of cys-LTs production/signalling. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: BALB/c liquid bone-marrow cultures were established with IL-5, alone or associated with indomethacin, aspirin, or cys-LTs. The effects of preventing cys-LT production or signalling were assessed. KEY

resultsIndomethacin and aspirin counteracted the suppression of eosinophil production by exogenous PGE(2). LTD(4), LTC(4) and LTE(4) enhanced IL-5-dependent eosinophil production and further counteracted the effect of exogenous PGE(2). The 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, MK886, a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor, zileuton, the CysLT(1) receptor antagonists, MK571 and montelukast, or inactivation of the LTC(4) synthase gene, abolished effects of indomethacin and aspirin. MK886 and zileuton were ineffective but MK571 and montelukast were effective, against LTD(4). Indomethacin, aspirin and LTD(4) failed to enhance eosinophil production in bone-marrow from CysLT1 receptor-deficient mice. Indomethacin, aspirin and LTD(4) no longer counteracted the effects of exogenous PGE(2) in the presence of MK571 and montelukast. MK886, MK571 and montelukast had no effect by themselves, or in association with PGE(2). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Dependence on the FLAP/5-lipoxygenase/LTC(4) synthase pathway and receptor signalling shows that cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors act here through endogenous cys-LTs. While PGE(2) does not act by suppressing cys-LT production, cys-LTs override PGE(2) signalling. Eosinophil production is therefore coordinately regulated by both pathways.
