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

purposeWe examined the signaling mechanisms involved in δ-opioid-receptor agonist, SNC-121-mediated attenuation of TNF-α-induced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) secretion from human optic nerve head (ONH) astrocytes.

methodsHuman ONH astrocytes were treated with SNC-121 (1 μmol/L) for 15 minutes followed by TNF-α (25 ng/mL) treatment for 6 or 24 hours. Cells were pretreated with inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (SB-203580) or NF-κB (Helenalin) prior to TNF-α treatment. Changes in phosphorylation and expression of p38 MAP kinase, IκBα, NF-κB, and MMP-2 were measured by Western blotting. Translocation of NF-κB was determined by immunocytochemistry.

resultsTNF-α treatment increased MMP-2 secretion from ONH astrocytes to 236% ± 17% and 142% ± 8% at 6 and 24 hours, respectively; while SNC-121 treatment reduced MMP-2 secretion to 149% ± 11% and 108% ± 7% at 6 and 24 hours, respectively. The SNC-121-mediated inhibitory response was blocked by the δ-opioid-receptor antagonist naltrindole. TNF-α treatment resulted in a sustained phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase up to 24 hours (226% ± 15% over control levels), which was reduced to 150% ± 20% by SNC-121 treatment. TNF-α treatment increased the expression of NF-κB to 179% ± 21% and 139% ± 6% at 6 and 24 hours, respectively, which was significantly blocked by SNC-121 treatment. Furthermore, TNF-α-induced MMP-2 secretion was blocked by 100% and 78% in the presence of SB-203580 and Helenalin, respectively.

conclusionsEvidence is provided that SNC-121 attenuated TNF-α-induced MMP-2 secretion from ONH astrocytes. Data also supported the idea that p38 MAP kinase and NF-κB played central roles in TNF-α-induced MMP-2 secretion, and both were negatively regulated by SNC-121.
