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

Increased levels of platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) are found in several inflammatory dermatoses, but PAF's exact role in epidermis is uncertain. In order to better understand the physiological consequences of excess PAF production in epidermis, we examined the gene regulatory effects of PAF short-term stimulation in differentiated HaCaT keratinocytes by transcriptional profiling. Even though PAF induces COX2 expression, we found that PAF regulates only few genes associated with inflammation in differentiated keratinocytes. Rather, we show that natural PAF rapidly regulates genes involved in proliferation, (anti)-apoptosis and migration, all sub-processes of re-epithelialization and wound healing. Moreover, profiling of phosphorylated kinases, cellular wound-scratch experiments, resazurin assay and flow cytometry cell cycle phase analysis all support a role for PAF in keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal re-epithelialization. In conclusion, these results suggest that PAF acts as an activator of proliferation and may, therefore, function as a connector between inflammation and proliferation in differentiated keratinocytes.
