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

P38 inhibitors are potent anti-inflammatory agents with distinctive mechanism of action from corticosteroid; the potential combined use of both anti-inflammatory agents could be an effective treatment for inflammatory lung disease; however, the impact of such combination on the homeostasis of immune response was poorly understood. To investigate the combined effect of dexamethasone (DEX) and/or SB203580 on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (pro-inflammatory) and interleukin (IL)-10 (anti-inflammatory) secretion in mouse alveolar macrophage cell line. Secreted TNF-α and IL-10 were measured by ELISA. Phosphorylated STAT3 were investigated using Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Pre-treatment of DEX or SB203580 inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated IL-10, TNF-α secretion, and STAT3 phosphorylation. Combined use of both agents showed stronger inhibitory effect. Combining DEX and SB203580 showed strong inhibition on the LPS-induced IL-10 secretion and STAT3 phosphorylation, which might reflect a very important drawback from the combined use of both anti-inflammatory agents.
