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

backgroundExposure to perinatal infection is associated with the multiple morbidities complicating preterm birth. How a relatively immature innate immune response contributes to this is unknown.

objectiveWe sought to determine if the perinatal innate immune response to endotoxemia induces a unique pattern of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression via an NFκB-dependent mechanism.

methodsHepatic and pulmonary COX-2 mRNA expression was assessed following perinatal (at embryonic days 15 and 19 and after birth) or adult endotoxemia. Hepatic NFκB activity was assessed by cytosolic inhibitory protein degradation and subunit nuclear translocation. Immunohistochemistry and isolated cell preparations determined hepatic macrophage COX-2 expression, and the effect of pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of NFκB activity was tested.

resultsPerinatal endotoxemia induced sustained hepatic macrophage COX-2 expression and NFκB activity compared to in exposed adults. Isolated hepatic macrophages and immunohistochemistry demonstrated enriched LPS-induced COX-2 expression that was sensitive to pharmacologic and genetic approaches to attenuate NFκB activity. Finally, pharmacologic inhibition of endotoxemia-induced NFκB activity in neonatal mice prevented hepatic NFκB activity and attenuated COX-2 expression.

conclusionOur findings of sustained neonatal hepatic NFκB activity and COX-2 expression in response to endotoxemia support a robust perinatal innate immune response. This may represent a link between the innate immune response and the pathogenesis of diseases associated with preterm birth.
