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

Interleukin (IL)-33 is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family with dual functions as a traditional cytokine and as a transcriptional regulator. We recently reported that IL-33 up-regulated growth regulated oncogene (GRO)-α/CXCL1 expression in human vascular endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of IL-33 on the expression of IL-8/CXCL8, another member of the CXC-chemokine family, and to elucidate its signaling pathways in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Immunocytochemical staining and Western immunoblot analysis revealed that IL-33 augmented IL-8 protein expression in HUVECs. Real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that IL-33 significantly increased IL-8 mRNA and secretion in a dose- and time-dependent manner. IL-33 preferentially stimulated proliferating subconfluent cells, and increased IL-8 secretion to a higher level compared with confluent cells. IL-33 also stimulated phosphorylations of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and c-Jun, and enhanced activator protein (AP)-1 DNA-binding activity, all of which were suppressed by SP600125, a JNK inhibitor. Moreover, IL-33-induced IL-8 mRNA and secretion were also suppressed by SP600125. Transfection of c-Jun small interfering RNA into cultured HUVECs significantly reduced the IL-33-induced increase in IL-8 secretion from HUVECs. The present study demonstrates that IL-33 induces IL-8 expression via JNK/c-Jun/AP-1 pathway in human vascular endothelial cells, and provides a new insight into the role of IL-33-induced IL-8 in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation.
