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

Group A streptococcus (GAS) imposes a great burden on humans. Efforts to minimize the associated morbidity and mortality represent a critical issue. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (GSK-3 β) is known to regulate inflammatory response in infectious diseases. However, the regulation of GSK-3 β in GAS infection is still unknown. The present study investigates the interaction between GSK-3 β , NF- κ B, and possible related inflammatory mediators in vitro and in a mouse model. The results revealed that GAS could activate NF- κ B, followed by an increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and NO production in a murine macrophage cell line. Activation of GSK-3 β occurred after GAS infection, and inhibition of GSK-3 β reduced iNOS expression and NO production. Furthermore, GSK-3 β inhibitors reduced NF- κ B activation and subsequent TNF- α production, which indicates that GSK-3 β acts upstream of NF- κ B in GAS-infected macrophages. Similar to the in vitro findings, administration of GSK-3 β inhibitor in an air pouch GAS infection mouse model significantly reduced the level of serum TNF- α and improved the survival rate. The inhibition of GSK-3 β to moderate the inflammatory effect might be an alternative therapeutic strategy against GAS infection.
