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

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) are well-known mediators of inflammation. However, a causal relationship between TNFα stimuli and TSP-1 expression in endothelial cell stress, and the underlying mechanisms has not yet been investigated. In our study, human microvascular endothelial cells (hMEC) were treated with TNFα and analyzed for endothelial dysfunction, TSP-1 expression, and associated mechanisms. TNFα treatment induced a dose-dependent increase in TSP-1 expression in hMEC associated with increased endothelial permeability, apoptosis, and reduced proliferation. Whereas TNFα activated Akt, ERK, and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38 MAPK) simultaneously in hMEC, inhibitors of Akt and P38 MAPK, but not ERK blunted TNFα-induced TSP-1 expression. Silencing of NFκB gene had no significant effect on TNFα-induced TSP-1 expression. Our study demonstrates the novel role of TNFα in inducing inflammatory stress response in hMEC through Akt- and P38 MAPK-mediated expression of TSP-1, independent of NFκB signaling.
