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

The hypothesis tested was PKCalpha mediates the phosphorylation of glycogen synthetase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta) and that the GSK3beta inhibition modulates the response to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) in rat pulmonary microvessel endothelial cells (PMEC). PMEC were treated with TNF for 4.0 h (100 ng/ml) or vehicle. First, to assess the role of PKCalpha in the phosphorylation of GSK3beta (i.e., an indicator of GSK3beta inhibition), PMEC were pretreated with 1) nonsense-RNA-PKCalpha, 2) siRNA-PKCalpha, and 3) the PKC inhibitor Gö6983. In the nonsense RNA-PKCalpha+TNF and TNF groups, there was increased phosphorylated GSK3beta-Ser9 that did not occur in the Gö6983+TNF group. In the TNF groups, there was a significant correlation between PKCalpha protein and phosphorylated GSK3beta-Ser9 that did not occur in the groups without TNF. Second, to assess the role of GSK3beta in beta-catenin activity, PMEC were pretreated with 1) wild-type (w) GSK3beta plasmid to enhance GSK3beta activity, 2) kinase dead (kd)-GSK3beta plasmid, and 3) the GSK3beta inhibitor SB-216763. In the TNF group, there was increased unphosphorylated beta-catenin-Ser37/33 compared with the control group. In the GSK3beta-inhibited groups (i.e., SB-216763 and kdGSK3beta) +/- TNF, the unphosphorylated beta-catenin-Ser37/33 was similar to the TNF group. In the GSK3beta-enhanced group +/- TNF, the unphosphorylated beta-catenin-Ser37/33 was similar to the control. Finally, PMEC were also treated with TOPflash, a beta-catenin-dependent promoter luciferase reporter, or the mutant construct FOPflash, 2 days before treatment with TNF. In the TNF group, there was an increased TOPflash/FOPflash activity ratio compared with the control group. In the GSK3beta-inhibited groups (i.e., SB-216763 and kdGSK3beta) +/- TNF, the TOPflash/FOPflash activity ratio was similar to the TNF group. In the GSK3beta-enhanced group +/- TNF, the TOPflash/FOPflash activity ratio was similar to the control. The data indicate that TNF induces endothelial activation that is modulated by a PKCalpha-dependent inhibition of GSK3beta.
