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

backgroundProtein kinase C delta binding protein (PRKCDBP/Cavin3/hSRBC) is a putative tumor suppressor that is downregulated in many human cancers. Recently, PRKCDBP was identified to be activated by nuclear factor-κB in response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α.

aimsTo explore the potential of PRKCDBP as a diagnostic or prognostic marker for inflammatory bowel disease, the possible correlation between its expression status and TNF-α signaling was evaluated in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, both pre- and post-infliximab (IFX) therapy.

methodsIn total, 31 IFX therapy-naïve patients (13 females; median age, 41 years) with moderate-to-severe UC who had been scheduled for IFX treatment were included. Immunohistochemical analysis of TNF-α and PRKCDBP expression was performed in rectal biopsies.

resultsA significant correlation was observed in immunoreactivity between TNF-α and PRKCDBP. IFX therapy reduced immunohistochemical expression of PRKCDBP and TNF-α (P < 0.001 and P = 0.005, respectively). The mean PRKCDBP expression level decreased from 54.5 to 30.2%, and that of TNF-α decreased from 54.5 to 36.2%. The immunohistochemical expression pre- and post-PRKCDBP therapy correlated significantly with TNF-α levels pre- and post-therapy (Spearman's rank correlation test; P = 0.005 and P = 0.001, respectively).

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that mucosal expression of PRKCDBP correlated strongly with TNF-α expression in UC patients and that IFX therapy resulted in profound reductions in both PRKCDBP and TNF-α. Thus, these findings support that PRKCDBP expression is tightly controlled by TNF-α, and the anti-inflammatory effect of IFX may in part stem from blockade of the TNF-α-PRKCDBP signaling pathway.
