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

MEKK3 is a central intermediate signaling component in lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced activation of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). However, the precise mechanism for the termination of MEKK3 kinase activity is not fully understood. Using a functional genomic approach, we have identified a protein serine/threonine phosphatase, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), as a MEKK3 phosphatase. Overexpression of PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) beta-isoform results in dephosphorylation of MEKK3 at Thr-516 and Ser-520 and termination of MEKK3-mediated NF-kappaB activation. PP2Ac associates with the phosphorylated form of MEKK3 and the interaction between PP2Ac and MEKK3 is induced by LPA in a transient fashion in the cells. Furthermore, knockdown of PP2Ac expression enhances LPA-induced MEKK3-mediated IkappaB kinase beta (IKKbeta) phosphorylation and NF-kappaB activation. These data suggest that PP2A plays an important role in the termination of LPA-mediated NF-kappaB activation through dephosphorylating and inactivating MEKK3.
