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 have reported that CXCL16, a recently discovered transmembrane chemokine, is expressed in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). However, it is not known whether HGF express CXCR6, the receptor for CXCL16, or CXCL16 affects HGF biology. We have shown that HGF expressed CXCR6 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometric analysis. Moreover, we elucidated that tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) DNA (Toll-like receptor-9 ligand) treatment enhanced CXCR6 expression by HGF. Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13 and CpG DNA up-regulated CXCR6 expression by TNF-alpha-stimulated HGF. On the other hand, IL-1beta and interferon-gamma inhibited CXCR6 expression on TNF-alpha-treated HGF. CXCL16 treatment induced HGF proliferation and phosphorylation of extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and protein kinase B (AKT) in HGF. In conclusion, HGF expressed CXCR6 functionally, because CXCL16 induced HGF proliferation and ERK and AKT phosphorylation in HGF. These results indicate that CXCL16 may play an important role in the pathogenesis and remodelling in periodontally diseased tissues.
