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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesEndotoxin tolerance is characterized by a state of hyporesponsiveness after confrontation with endotoxins such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) at low concentrations. The aim of this study was to investigate, whether pretreatment with Porphyromonas gingivalis leads to endotoxin tolerance induction and possible alterations in toll-like receptor (TLR) 2- and 4-induced response in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). MATERIAL AND

methodsPrimary hPDLCs were pretreated with P. gingivalis (0.1 or 0.3 μg/mL) LPS for 24 hours and afterwards treated with one of the following stimuli: P. gingivalis LPS (1 μg/mL); TLR4 agonist Escherichia coli LPS (0.1 μg/mL; 1 μg/mL); TLR2 agonist Pam3CSK4 (0.1 μg/mL; 1 μg/mL). The protein expression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 was analyzed with quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Gene expression levels of TLR2 and TLR4 were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

resultsPretreatment of cells with low concentrations of P. gingivalis LPS did not result in lower production of IL-6, IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 compared to control group. In some cases, pretreated cells exhibited lower gene expression levels of TLR2 and TLR4 compared to non-pretreated cells.

conclusionThe results of this study implicate that hPDLCs do not develop endotoxin tolerance. Furthermore, the amplitude of the inflammatory response shows no significant dependency on TLR2 and TLR4 expression levels.
