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

background informationInterleukin (IL)-1β is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in the regulation of inflammation and wound healing in the cornea. Elucidation of IL-1β signalling may help identify therapeutic targets for corneal wound healing; however, mechanisms such as cell migration, a component of IL-1β-induced wound healing response in human corneal endothelial cells (CEC), have not been well characterised.

resultsStimulation of human CEC with IL-1β activated expression of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and resulted in enhanced cell migration. This, in turn, was abolished by treatment with either IL-1 receptor antagonist or SU-5402, a pan-fibroblast growth factor signalling inhibitor. Phosphatidyl inositol (PI) 3-kinase or IL receptor-associated kinase 1/4 antagonists demonstrated that IL receptor-associated kinase 1/4 activates PI 3-kinase, which in turn phosphorylates p38 and inhibitor κB kinase α/β, leading to FGF2 expression through activation of activator protein 1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in human CEC. Treatment of IL-1β-stimulated human CEC with either AP-1 or NF-κB antagonists decreased FGF2 expression and resulted in reduced IL-1β-enhanced cell migration. Co-treatment of IL-1β-stimulated human CEC with both inhibitors completely blocked FGF2 expression and IL-1β-enhanced cell migration. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that AP-1 and NF-κB directly bind to the FGF2 promoter following IL-1β stimulation.

conclusionsThe results show that binding of IL-1β to its receptor in human CEC leads to parallel activation of AP-1 and NF-κB pathways, leading, in turn, to FGF2 expression and enhanced cell migration.
