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

Infection caused by certain gram-negative bacteria, e.g. Salmonella, can trigger inflammatory joint disease reactive arthritis (ReA). It is suggested that the disease-triggering bacteria or bacterial components persist in patients for an abnormally long time. Development of ReA is strongly associated with tissue antigen HLA-B27. Previously, we reported an enhanced replication of Salmonella enteritidis and altered p38 MAP kinase signalling in HLA-B27-expressing monocytic cells. Here we aimed to investigate the role of HLA-B27 in regulation of double-stranded RNA-activated kinase (PKR)-related signalling in Salmonella-infected or Salmonella lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human U937 monocytic cells, as PKR has been reported to modify p38 signalling in Salmonella-infected cells. In cells expressing HLA-B27, PKR is overexpressed and hypophosphorylated, and the expression of transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) is increased upon Salmonella infection and LPS stimulation. The expression of C/EBPβ is PKR-dependent in LPS-stimulated mock cells, whereas in LPS-stimulated B27 cells the majority of C/EBPβ is expressed in a PKR-independent manner. Our results show that the expression of HLA-B27 disturbs the PKR-mediated signalling pathway. Moreover, altered signalling is related to misfolding-linked Glu45 in the B pocket of the HLA-B27 heavy chain. We suggest that the expression of HLA-B27 HCs modulates the intracellular environment of monocyte/macrophages and the mechanisms that are important in eliminating intracellular S. enteritidis by altering the intracellular signalling. This phenomenon is at least partly dependent on the misfolding feature of the B27 molecule. These observations offer a novel mechanism by which HLA-B27 may modulate inflammatory response induced by ReA-triggering bacteria.
