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

This study tested the hypothesis that human eosinophils produce ligands for the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE), express RAGE and exhibit RAGE-mediated responses. In examining our microarray data, we identified the presence of RAGE and RAGE ligand (S100A4, S100A6, S100A8, S100A9, S100A11, S100P, HMGB1) transcripts. Expression of eosinophil RAGE mRNA was also compared with a known positive control and further assessed via bioinformatics and sequence analysis of RAGE cDNA. Positive and negative controls were used to identify RAGE, S100A8 and S100A9 protein in human primary eosinophils. Immunoblot assessment of eosinophils treated with cytokines (IL-5 or granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor) indicated an up-regulation of S100A8 and S100A9 production, whereas co-treatment of eosinophils with a RAGE ligand and cytokines displayed a down-regulation in the levels of RAGE. Analysis of eosinophil-conditioned media revealed that eosinophils are capable of releasing RAGE, S100A8 and S100A9. To test the eosinophil response to RAGE activation, the most well-characterized RAGE ligand, S100B, was examined. Treatment of eosinophils with S100B resulted in RAGE-mediated PKC-delta phosphorylation, a 3-fold dose-dependent increase in cell survival and an increase in the level of cellular RAGE. Combined, these studies reveal eosinophil expression of RAGE, RAGE ligands and RAGE-mediated responses. The expression of eosinophil RAGE, soluble RAGE and RAGE ligands may be pivotal to the functions of eosinophils in various human diseases involving RAGE and S100 ligands.
