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

objectiveApoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) plays a key role in acute lung injury (ALI). Understanding the underlying mechanism is conducive to the treatment of ALI. The goal of this study was to determine the possible involvement of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/p65 and Bax/Bcl-2 in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis in AECs.

methodsType II AECs, A549, with or without NF-κB/p65 expression silenced by small interfering RNA (siRNA) were challenged with TNF-α. The levels of NF-κB/p65, Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunocytochemical staining. The apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry.

resultsTNF-α challenge significantly increased the transcription and translation of NF-κB/p65 and Bax genes, but significantly decreased the Bcl-2 gene level. siRNA silencing of NF-κB/p65 reversed the effect of TNF-α on NF-κB/p65, Bcl-2 and Bax, and significantly decreased the TNF-α-induced apoptosis rate of AECs, as compared to the non-silenced cells.

conclusionsThis study indicates that NF-κB plays an important role in the process of TNF-α-induced apoptosis in AECs, via regulation of the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax.
