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 present study investigated the influence of PGE(2), E prostanoid (EP) receptors, and their signaling pathways on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and IL-6 expression in synovial fibroblasts (SFs) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. RASFs expressed all four EP receptors, with selective induction of EP2 by TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha time-dependently increased intracellular cAMP/protein kinase A signaling (maximum, 6-12 h) and PGE(2) secretion (maximum, 24 h). PGE(2) and the EP2 agonists butaprost or ONO-AE1-259 ((16)-9-deoxy-9beta-chloro-15-deoxy-16-hydroxy-17,17-trimethylene-19,20-didehydro PGE(1)), in turn, induced a rapid, time-dependent (maximum, 15-30 min) increase of cAMP. Additionally, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition by NS-398 (N-(2-cyclohexyloxy-4-nitrophenyl)-methanesulfonamide) reduced the TNF-alpha-induced increase in IL-6 mRNA/protein, which was restored by stimulation with PGE(2) or EP2, EP3, and EP4 agonists. In contrast, TNF-alpha-induced MMP-1 secretion was not influenced by NS-398 and diminished by PGE(2) via EP2. Finally, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine enhanced the effects of PGE(2) on MMP-1, but not on IL-6 mRNA. In conclusion, PGE(2) differentially affects TNF-alpha-induced mRNA expression of proinflammatory IL-6 and prodestructive MMP-1 regarding the usage of EP receptors and the dependency on cAMP. Although specific blockade of EP2 receptors is considered a promising therapeutic strategy in RA, opposite regulation of proinflammatory IL-6 and prodestructive MMP-1 by PGE(2) via EP2 may require more complex approaches to successfully inhibit the cyclooxygenase-1/2 cAMP axis.
