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

backgroundAberrant signaling via the p21/mitogen-activated proteins (MAP) kinase pathway has been described in lymphocytes of patients with various autoimmune diseases. There is little published data about the intracellular mediators and signals that regulate expression and activity of transcription factors and their effect on celiac disease induction and progression.

aimTo investigate the possible involvement of MAP kinase pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in celiac disease and its correlation with disease activity.

methodsExpression of the total and activated forms of two MAP kinases [extracellular response kinase (ERK) and c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK)] were studied by Western blots in PBMC of 17 untreated and 19 treated celiac patients, and 17 controls. Seven of these untreated celiac patients were studies before and after 6 months of gluten-free diet.

resultsPhosphorylated ERK of active celiac disease patients was significantly lower compared with controls (P < 0.01) and was increased towards normal after 6 month of gluten-free diet (P < 0.01). Phosphorylated JNK was increased significantly in the untreated celiac group (P < 0.01) and normalized towards the control level after 6 months of gluten-free diet (P < 0.04).

conclusionsAberrant MAP-kinase pathway activity is associated with active celiac disease (CD). Further studies should examine the potential role of this aberration in pathogenesis of CD.
