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

Neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) are released from activated neutrophils during inflammation. Here we studied the transfer of the three major NSPs, namely proteinase 3, human neutrophil elastase, and cathepsin G, from neutrophils to endothelial cells and used an unbiased approach to identify novel endothelial NSP substrates. Enzymatically active NSPs were released from stimulated neutrophils and internalized by endothelial cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner as shown by immunoblotting, flow cytometry, and the Boc-Ala substrate assay. Using terminal-amine isotopic labeling of substrates in endothelial cells, we identified 121 peptides from 82 different proteins consisting of 36 substrates for proteinase 3, 30 for neutrophil elastase, and 28 for cathepsin G, respectively. We characterized the extended cleavage pattern and provide corresponding IceLogos. Gene ontology analysis showed significant cytoskeletal substrate enrichment and confirmed several cytoskeletal protein substrates by immunoblotting. Finally, ANCA-stimulated neutrophils released all three active NSPs into the supernatant. Supernatants increased endothelial albumin flux and disturbed the endothelial cell cytoskeletal architecture. Serine protease inhibition abrogated this effect. Longer exposure to NSPs reduced endothelial cell viability and increased apoptosis. Thus, we identified novel NSP substrates and suggest NSP inhibition as a therapeutic measure to inhibit neutrophil-mediated inflammatory vascular diseases.
