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

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by a wide range of irreversible fibro-inflammatory diseases with largely ambiguous pathogenesis. Although neddylation pathway has been implicated in regulating immune responses, whether the dysregulation of neddylation is involved in the progression of CP and how neddylation regulates the inflammatory microenvironment of CP have not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate that global inactivation of neddylation pathway by MLN4924 significantly exacerbates chronic pancreatitis. The increased M2 macrophage infiltration, mediated by the upregulated chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5), is responsible for the enhanced pancreatitis-promoting activity of MLN4924. Both CCL5 blockade and macrophage depletion contribute to alleviating pancreatic fibrosis and inflammation in MLN4924-treated CP mice. Mechanistic investigation identifies that inactivation of Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs) stabilizes cellular levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), which increases CCL5 expression by promoting CCL5 transactivation. Clinically, UBE2M expression remarkably decreases in human CP tissues compared with normal specimens and the levels of CCL5 and M2 marker CD163 are negatively correlated with UBE2M intensity, suggesting that neddylation is involved in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis. Hence, our studies reveal a neddylation-associated immunopathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis and provide new ideas for the disease treatment.
