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

Primary endothelial cells are fully resistant to TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-mediated apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate that certain environmental conditions, such as exposure to the widespread allergen nickel, can dramatically increase the susceptibility of naturally resistant primary endothelial cells or keratinocytes to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. While nickel treatment increased surface expression of the apoptosis-inducing TRAIL receptors TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2, it also up-regulated the apoptosis-deficient TRAIL-R4, suggesting that modulation of TRAIL receptor expression alone is unlikely to fully account for the dramatic sensitization effect of nickel. Further analysis of candidate mediators revealed that nickel strongly repressed c-FLIP at mRNA and protein levels. Accordingly, increased activation of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 following nickel treatment was observed. Importantly, depletion of c-FLIP by RNA interference could largely recapitulate the effect of nickel and sensitize endothelial cells to TRAIL-dependent apoptosis in the absence of nickel pre-treatment. Conversely, ectopic expression of c-FLIP(L) largely protected nickel-treated cells from TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. Our data demonstrate that one key mechanism of sensitization of primary human endothelial cells or keratinocytes is transcriptional down-regulation of c-FLIP. We hypothesize that environmental factors, exemplified by the contact allergen nickel, strongly modulate death ligand sensitivity of endothelial cells and keratinocytes thus influencing vascular and epidermal function and integrity under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
