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

The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) family of transcription factors plays a central role in numerous physiological processes including development, cell survival, immunity, and inflammation. We generated a series of stable clonal lines in mouse embryonic fibroblasts carrying NF-kappaB-GFP plasmid as a reporter. These cell lines were selected by flow cytometry for their high responsiveness to tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), two classic NF-kappaB-inducing stimuli. Although all clones were generated from the same parental cell line, they each had a distinctive pattern of response to NF-kappaB stimuli. While exhibiting distinct profiles with regard to the GFP reporter, analysis of endogenous NF-kappaB downstream targets did not always show the same variability. This suggests that in the absence of confirmation of the signaling outcomes using endogenous outputs, considerable caution must be exercised in the interpretation of data using stable reporter systems.
