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

Recent studies implicate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in the control of inflammatory responses following Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation in myeloid cells but its role in non-myeloid cells such as human keratinocytes is unknown. Here we show that TLR3 signaling can induce robust cytokine secretion including interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), IL-12p70 and interferon beta (IFN-β), and our data reveal for the first time that inhibiting mTOR with rapamycin, suppresses these TLR3 induced responses but actually enhances bioactive IL-12p70 production in human oral keratinocytes. Rapamycin inhibited the phosphorylation of the 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) and the 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP-1), and suppressed the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by decreasing phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). We also show that TLR3 induces interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) activation by Akt via an mTOR-p70S6K-4EBP1 pathway. Furthermore, we provide evidence that Poly I:C induced expression of IL-1β, TNFα, IL-12p70 and IFN-β was blocked by JNK inhibitor SP600125. TLR3 preferentially phosphorylated IKKα through mTOR to activate nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) in human oral keratinocytes. Taken together, these data demonstrate p70S6K, p4EBP1, JNK, NF-κB and IRF3 are involved in the regulation of inflammatory mediators by TLR3 via the mTOR pathway. mTOR is a novel pathway modulating TLR3 induced inflammatory and antiviral responses in human oral keratinocytes.
