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

BACKGROUND/

aimsAdherence to an extracellular matrix (ECM) rescues hepatocytes from apoptosis, but how hepatocytes adhered to different ECM and respond to apoptotic and cytoprotective stimuli is unknown.

methodsRat hepatocytes were plated on type 1 collagen (CI), laminin (LM) or polylysine (PL) and the amount of apoptosis induced by glycochenodeoxycholate (GCDC), deoxycholate (DCA), Fas ligand or serum withdrawal was determined by Hoechst staining. The response to cytoprotection by cAMP-guanine exchange factor (cAMP-GEF) activation was determined. Kinase activation was determined by immunoblotting with phosphospecific antibodies.

resultsHepatocytes on LM and PL had more apoptosis in response to all apoptotic stimuli. GCDC increased c-jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation 2-fold in hepatocytes on CI, but 15- and 30-fold in hepatocytes on PL or LM. SP-600125, a JNK inhibitor, prevented LM and PL potentiation of bile acid apoptosis. GCDC induced dephosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was prevented by cAMP-GEF activation. Cytochalasin B which decreased FAK phosphorylation prevented cAMP-GEF cytoprotection.

conclusionsJNK activation augments apoptosis in hepatocytes plated on PL and LM. Decreased FAK phosphorylation as seen in cells treated with bile acids or attached to PL and LM promotes hepatocyte apoptosis.
