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

BACKGROUND/

aimsAngiogenesis is a well-established characteristic in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial pannus. We have previously demonstrated that fractalkine (Fkn/ CX3CL1) expression is significantly increased in the RA joint and that fractalkine induces angiogenesis. In this work we studied mechanisms through which Fkn functions as an angiogenic mediator.

methodsHuman microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with Fkn and analyzed by Western blotting or stained with Alexa Fluor 488 phalloidin for F-actin to characterize the time frame of cytoskeletal rearrangement. Fkn-induced HUVEC chemotaxis was performed in the presence and absence of MAP kinase inhibitors.

resultsPhalloidin staining of F-actin revealed significant cytoskeletal rearrangements in HUVECs and HMVECs starting as early as 10 min after Fkn stimulation. Western blotting demonstrated that HUVEC and HMVEC stimulation with Fkn for 1-30 min resulted in phosphorylation of JNK. Fkn also induces significant phosphorylation of Erk 1/2 in HUVECs over a time course ranging from 1 to 15 min. A somewhat similar time course (5-15 min) was detected for Erk 1/2 phosphorylation in HMVECs. Inhibitors of either JNK or Erk 1/2 nearly abolish Fkn-induced HUVEC migration.

conclusionsWe demonstrate that Fkn induces significant alterations in cytoskeletal structure and specifically activates the MAP kinases, JNK and Erk 1/2, both of which appear necessary for endothelial cell migration. Our results suggest that the endogenous Fkn present in the RA joint may induce angiogenesis through activation of the JNK and Erk 1/2 pathways.
