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

objectivesApoptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells is a major cause of intervertebral disc degeneration. To elucidate relationships between caveolin-1 and cytokine-induced apoptosis, we investigated the role of caveolin-1 in cytokine-induced apoptosis in rat NP cells and the related signalling pathway. MATERIALS AND

methodsRat NP cells were treated with interleukin (IL)-1β or tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and knockdown of caveolin-1 and β-catenin was achieved using specific siRNAs. Then, apoptotic level of rat NP cells and expression and activation of caveolin-1/β-catenin signalling were assessed by flow cytometric analysis, qRT-PCR, western blotting and luciferase assays. The relationship between the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and caveolin-1 promoter activity was also determined by luciferase assays.

resultsIL-1β and TNF-α induced apoptosis, upregulated caveolin-1 expression and activated Wnt/β-catenin signalling in rat NP cells, while the induction effect of cytokines was reversed by caveolin-1 siRNA and β-catenin siRNA. Promotion of rat NP cell apoptosis and nuclear translocation of β-catenin induced by caveolin-1 overexpression were abolished by β-catenin siRNA. Furthermore, pretreatment with a p38 MAPK inhibitor or dominant negative-p38, blocked cytokine-dependent induction of caveolin-1/β-catenin expression and activity.

conclusionsThe results revealed the role of p38/caveolin-1/β-catenin in inflammatory cytokine-induced apoptosis in rat NP cells. Thus, controlling p38/caveolin-1/β-catenin activity seemed to regulate IL-1β- and TNF-α-induced apoptosis in the NP during intervertebral disc degeneration.
