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

AIM AND

objectiveThe potential role of chlamydial heat shock proteins (cHSP) 60 and cHSP10 in apoptosis of primary cervical epithelial cells was investigated.

methodsPrimary cervical epithelial cells were stimulated with cHSP60 and cHSP10 for 4 h. Quantitative measurements of apoptosis were made using cytofluorometry, and apoptosis-related genes were analyzed by microarray, real-time PCR and western blotting. Further, levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-18 and IL-1β) were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.

resultsAfter a 4-h incubation in the presence of recombinant cHSP60 or cHSP10, the number of cells exhibiting annexin V binding activity increased 6- and 5-fold, respectively (P < 0.05). A DNA microarray study showed significant (P < 0.05) upregulation of interleukin (IL)-1 β-convertase, and caspase-3, -8 and -9 genes in cHSP60- and cHSP10-stimulated than in control cells as confirmed by real-time RT-PCR and western blotting. Transcript levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in cells treated with cHSP60 and cHSP10 were found to be significantly (P < 0.05) higher in stimulated than in control cells.

conclusioncHSP60- and cHSP10-induced caspase expression, proinflammatory cytokine production and apoptosis of primary cervical epithelial cells might play a role in the pathogenesis of infertility in women with persistent chlamydial infection.
