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

Mammalian inflammatory signaling, for which NF-kappaB is a principal transcription factor, is an exquisite example of how cellular signaling pathways can be regulated to produce different yet specific responses to different inflammatory insults. Mathematical models, tightly linked to experiment, have been instrumental in unraveling the forms of regulation in NF-kappaB signaling and their underlying molecular mechanisms. Our initial model of the IkappaB-NF-kappaB signaling module highlighted the role of negative feedback in the control of NF-kappaB temporal dynamics and gene expression. Subsequent studies sparked by this work have helped to characterize additional feedback loops, the input-output behavior of the module, crosstalk between multiple NF-kappaB-activating pathways, and NF-kappaB oscillations. We anticipate that computational techniques will enable further progress in the NF-kappaB field, and the signal transduction field in general, and we discuss potential upcoming developments.
