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 have demonstrated that aberrant galactosylation is associated with some inflammation diseases. β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase-I (β-1,4-GalT I), which transferred galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of N- and O-linked glycans in a β-1,4-linkage, was considered to be the major galactosyltransferase among the seven members of the subfamily responsible for β4 galactosylation. To elucidate the expression and possible function of β-1,4-GalT I in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) inflammatory diseases, we performed a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) autocrine inflammatory model in Schwann cells (SCs). In this study, we found that silencing of β-1,4-GalT I suppressed TNF-α autocrine, while overexpression of β-1,4-GalT I promoted TNF-α autocrine in TNF-α-treated SCs. Meanwhile, anti-TNFR1 antibody suppressed the expression of β-1,4-GalT I, and TNF-α autocrine. β-1,4-GalT I conferred its effect by promoting ERK, JNK, and P38 MAP kinase signal pathways activation in TNF-α-induced SCs. Thus, the present data shows that during SCs activation, β-1,4-GalT I may play an important role in the release of inflammatory mediators.
