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

Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) converting enzyme (TACE), also termed a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), is involved in multiple cell signalling pathways. Through the secretion of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands, ADAM17 can activate the EGFR and is involved in various downstream signalling pathways. The present study aimed to investigate whether ADAM17‑induced EGFR transactivation is involved in microglial cell survival following spinal cord injury (SCI). Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis revealed that ADAM17 was overexpressed in a mouse model following SCI. A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay demonstrated that the viability of human microglia and oligodendrocytes were significantly reduced in a time- and dose-dependent manner following treatment with the ADAM17 antagonist, TNF protease inhibitor 2. Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometric analysis revealed that inhibiting ADAM17 increased the rate of cellular apoptosis in neuronal and glial cell cultures, which was accompanied by increased cleavage of caspase-3. Western blot analysis demonstrated that inhibiting ADAM17 resulted in a reduction in the phosphorylation of the EGFR signalling pathway components and thereby impaired functional recovery, inhibited cell viability and prompted microglial apoptosis following SCI. Pre-treatment with the EGFR inhibitor, AG1478, rescued the ADAM17‑mediated proliferation of microglial cells. These data demonstrated that ADAM17 contributed to microglial cell survival, predominantly by EGFR signalling, following SCI.
