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

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) activates fibrinolysis and also suppresses innate immune system responses to LPS in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and in vivo in mice. The objective of this study was to assess the activity of tPA as a regulator of macrophage physiology in the presence of plasmin. Enzymatically active and enzymatically inactive (EI) tPA appeared to comprehensively block the response to LPS in BMDMs, including expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and IL-1 receptor antagonist. The activity of EI-tPA as an LPS response modifier was conserved in the presence of plasminogen. By contrast, in BMDMs treated with tPA and plasminogen or preactivated plasmin, in the presence or absence of LPS, increased proinflammatory cytokine expression was observed and tPA failed to reverse the response. Plasmin independently activated NF-κB, ERK1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in BMDMs, which is characteristic of proinflammatory stimuli. Plasmin-induced cytokine expression was blocked by ε-aminocaproic acid, aprotinin, and inhibitors of the known plasmin substrate, Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), but not by N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor inhibitor, which blocks the effects of tPA on macrophages. Cytokine expression by BMDMs treated with the PAR-1 agonist, TFLLR, was not inhibited by EI-tPA, possibly explaining why EI-tPA does not inhibit macrophage responses to plasmin and providing evidence for specificity in the ability of tPA to oppose proinflammatory stimuli. Regulation of innate immunity by the fibrinolysis system may reflect the nature of the stimulus and a balance between the potentially opposing activities of tPA and plasmin.
