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

We hypothesized that the Src family tyrosine kinases (STKs) are involved in the upregulation of arginase and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in response to inflammatory stimuli in pulmonary endothelial cells. Treatment of bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (bPAEC) with lipopolysaccharide and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (L/T) resulted in increased urea and nitric oxide (NO) production, and this increase in urea and NO production was inhibited by the STK inhibitor PP1 (10 microM). The STK inhibitors PP2 (10 microM) and herbimycin A (10 microM) also prevented the L/T-induced expression of both arginase II and iNOS mRNA in bPAEC. Together, the data demonstrate a central role of STK in the upregulation of both arginase II and iNOS in bPAEC in response to L/T treatment. To identify the specific kinase(s) required for the induction of urea and NO production, we studied human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (hPMVEC) so that short interfering RNA (siRNA) techniques could be employed. We found that hPMVEC express Fyn, Yes, c-Src, Lyn, and Blk and that the protein expression of Fyn, Yes, c-Src, and Lyn could be inhibited with specific siRNA. The siRNA targeting Fyn prevented the cytokine-induced increase in urea and NO production, whereas siRNAs specifically targeting Yes, c-Src, and Lyn had no appreciable effect on cytokine-induced urea and NO production. These findings support our hypothesis that inflammatory stimuli lead to increased urea and NO production through a STK-mediated pathway. Furthermore, these results indicate that the STK Fyn plays a critical role in this process.
