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

Treatment of pancreatic acinar cells by hydrogen sulphide has been shown to induce apoptosis. However, a potential role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in this apoptotic pathway remains unknown. The present study examined the role of MAPKs in H(2)S-induced apoptosis in mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Pancreatic acinar cells were treated with 10 microM NaHS (a donor of H(2)S) for 3 hrs. For the evaluation of the role of MAPKs, PD98059, SP600125 and SB203580 were used as MAPKs inhibitors for ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and p38 MAPK, respectively. We observed activation of ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and p38 when pancreatic acini were exposed to H(2)S. Moreover, H(2)S-induced ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and p38 activation were blocked by pre-treatment with their corresponding inhibitor in a dose-dependent manner. H(2)S-induced apoptosis led to an increase in caspase 3 activity and this activity was attenuated when caspase 3 inhibitor were used. Also, the cleavage of caspase 3 correlated with that of poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP) cleavage. H(2)S treatment induced the release of cytochrome c, smac from mitochondria into the cytoplasm, translocation of Bax into mitochondria and decreased the protein level of Bcl-2. Inhibition of ERK1/2 using PD98059 caused further enhancement of apoptosis as evidenced by annexin V staining, while SP600125 and SB203580 abrogated H(2)S-induced apoptosis. Taken together, the data suggest that activation of ERKs promotes cell survival, whereas activation of JNKs and p38 MAP kinase leads to H(2)S-induced apoptosis.
