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

Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) is a key transcription factor in the regulation of the innate immune inflammatory response in activated macrophages. NF-κB functions as a homo- or hetero-dimer derived from one or more of the five members of the NF-κB family, and is activated through a well-studied process of stimulus-dependent inhibitor degradation, post-translational modification, nuclear translocation, and chromatin binding. Its activity is subject to multiple levels of feedback control through both inhibitor protein activity and direct regulation of NF-κB components. Many methods have been developed to measure and quantify NF-κB activation. In this chapter, we summarize available methods and present a protocol for image-based measurement of NF-κB activation in macrophages activated with microbial stimuli. Using either a stably expressed GFP-tagged fusion of the RelA NF-κB protein, or direct detection of endogenous RelA by immunocytochemistry, we describe data collection and analysis to quantify NF-κB cytosol to nuclear translocation in single cells using fluorescence microscopy.
