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

objectiveThe control of expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) impacts a variety of processes during a stress response. Macrophages are a major source of TNF-alpha, the level of which is known to be regulated by adenosine. Previous studies highlighted the role of the A2a adenosine receptor in this process, while the role of the A2b adenosine receptor (A2bAR) has not been clearly identified. Here, we examined the contribution of the A2bAR to TNF-alpha regulation by macrophages at baseline and under vascular stress. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe employed a newer A2bAR-selective ligand, BAY 60-6583 in vitro and in vivo, and an A2bAR antagonist CVT-6883, as well as examined macrophages derived from control or A2bAR knockout mice.

resultsWe found that the expression of the A2bAR is upregulated in macrophages derived from wild-type mice subjected to arterial injury, and this receptor activity controls the level of TNF-alpha released from macrophages.

conclusionWe identified a significant role for the A2bAR in the regulation of TNF-alpha, which would contribute to the anti-inflammatory actions of adenosine under vascular stress. This conclusion could focus attention on this receptor as a therapeutic target.
