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

Secretion of proinflammatory cytokines by LPS activated endothelial cells contributes substantially to the pathogenesis of sepsis. However, the mechanism involved in this process is not well understood. In the present study, we determined the role of a nonreceptor proline-rich tyrosine kinase, Pyk2, in LPS-induced IL-8 (CXCL8) production in endothelial cells. First, we observed a marked activation of Pyk2 in response to LPS. Furthermore, inhibition of Pyk2 activity in these cells by transduction with the catalytically inactive Pyk2 mutant, transfection with Pyk2-specific small interfering RNA, or treatment with Tyrphostin A9 significantly blocked LPS-induced IL-8 production. The supernatants of LPS-stimulated cells exhibiting attenuated Pyk2 activity blocked transendothelial neutrophil migration in comparison to the supernatants of LPS-treated controls, thus confirming the inhibition of functional IL-8 production. Investigations into the molecular mechanism of this pathway revealed that LPS activates Pyk2 leading to IL-8 production through the TLR4. In addition, we identified the p38 MAPK pathway to be a critical step downstream of Pyk2 during LPS-induced IL-8 production. Taken together, these results demonstrate a novel role for Pyk2 in LPS-induced IL-8 production in endothelial cells.
