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

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPKs) are a group of serine/threonine protein kinases that together with ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinases) and JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinases) MAPKs act to convert different extracellular signals into specific cellular responses through interacting with and phosphorylating downstream targets. In contrast to the mitogenic ERK pathway, mammalian p38 MAPK family proteins (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta), with and without JNK participation, predominantly regulate inflammatory and stress response. Recent emerging evidence suggests that the p38 stress MAPK pathway may function as a tumor suppressor through regulating Ras-dependent and -independent proliferation, transformation, invasion and cell death by isoform-specific mechanisms. A selective activation of a stress pathway to block tumorigenesis may be a novel strategy to control human malignancies.
