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

backgroundStimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) by microbial products has been utilised to potentiate immune responses against haematologic malignancies. The maltose-binding protein (MBP) of Escherichia coli could induce the activation of immune cells via TLR4. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether TLRs mediated the biological effects of MBP on U937 and Jurkat cells in vitro. METHODS We observed the effect of MBP on U937 and Jurkat cells by using the WST, cell cycle analysis and morphological observation. Further, cells were stimulated with MBP for indicated times and doses, and detected by RT-PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining to investigate the mechanisms involved in cell viability.

resultsMBP enhanced the viability of U937 and Jurkat cells, and the effects were blocked by anti-TLR2, but not anti-TLR4 in U937 cells. Further studies confirmed that MBP was able to directly bind to U937 and Jurkat cells and modulate TLR expression. The effects of MBP depended on the activation of NF-κB and MAP kinase in U937 and Jurkat cells.

conclusionsOur results demonstrated that MBP could directly promote U937 cell viability via TLR2. It suggested that MBP may be used as an adjuvant for participating in the immunotherapy of haematologic malignancies.
