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

Mechanisms whereby acid reflux may accelerate the progression from Barrett's esophagus (BE) to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) are not fully understood. We have previously shown that NADPH oxidase NOX5-S generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) when Barrett's metaplastic cells are exposed to acid. Besides metaplastic cells, other H(2)O(2)-producing cells (e.g., inflammatory cells) present in BE mucosa may produce additional ROS, which may also affect metaplastic cells contributing to esophageal tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigate whether exogenous H(2)O(2) stimulates cell proliferation by increasing NOX5-S expression. Low dose (10(-13) M) of H(2)O(2) significantly increased thymidine incorporation, NOX5-S mRNA, and protein expression in a Barrett's EA cell line FLO. H(2)O(2)-induced increase in NOX5-S expression was significantly inhibited by knockdown of nuclear factor (NF)-κB1 p50 with p50 small interfering RNA (siRNA) in EA cell lines FLO and OE33. H(2)O(2) significantly increased p65 phosphorylation and the luciferase activity in FLO cells transfected with a NF-κB activation reporter plasmid pNF-κB-Luc. H(2)O(2)-induced increase in luciferase activity in FLO cells was significantly decreased by knockdown of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Overexpression of p50 and p65 remarkably increased the luciferase activity in FLO cells transfected with a NOX5-S reporter plasmid NOX5-LP. In addition, H(2)O(2)-induced thymidine incorporation in FLO cells was significantly decreased by the MAPK kinase 1/2 inhibitor 2'-amino-3'methoxyflavone (PD98059) and ERK2 siRNA but not by ERK1 siRNA. Likewise, H(2)O(2)-induced increase in NOX5-S expression was significantly decreased by ERK2 siRNA in FLO and OE33 cells. We conclude that a low dose of H(2)O(2) increases cell proliferation. H(2)O(2)-induced increase in cell proliferation may depend on sequential activation of ERK2 MAPK, NF-κB1 p50, and NOX5-S.
