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

objectiveTo assess the association of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and complications of Kawasaki disease (KD) in Chinese children.

methodsBased on color Doppler examination results, 86 affected children in the KD group were divided into two groups: 39 cases in coronary artery lesion group (CALs subgroup) and 47 cases in non-coronary artery lesion group (Non-CALs subgroup). Infection control group consisted of 65 cases of hospitalized infected children with fever, having same age as the affected children. Healthy control group consisted of 102 cases of healthy children of the same age, visiting the hospital for physical examination. Western blot was used to detect the expression of NF-кBp65 and IкBα proteins in periphery blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of TNF-α and MCP-1 mRNA.

resultsThe value of NF-kBp65 (optical density) in the PBMC cell nuclei in the KD group was significantly higher than that in the two control groups (p < 0.01). The value of NF-κBp65 in the CALs subgroup was significantly higher than that in the Non-CALs subgroup (p < 0.05). The value of NF-κBp65 inhibitor IκBα in the KD group was significantly lower than that in the infection control group and the healthy control group (p < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between the ratio nucleus NF-κBP65/ IκBα and the severity degree of CALs(r = 0.536, p < 0.05). The value of TNF-α mRNA (O.D ratio) in the KD group was significantly higher than that in the two control groups (P < 0.01), and the value of TNF-α mRNA in the CALs subgroup was significantly higher than that in the Non-CALs subgroup (P < 0.05). The value of MCP-1 mRNA in the KD group was significantly higher than that in the two control groups (P < 0.01), and the value of MCP-1 mRNA in the CALs subgroup was significantly higher than that in the Non-CALs subgroup (P < 0.05).

conclusionsNF-κBp65 participates in the pathogenesis of vasculitis of KD in acute stage, and may aggravate the vasculitis in KD and plays a part in the formation of CALs.
