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

The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is critically involved in inflammation and cancer development. Activation of NF-κB induces the expression and release of several pro-inflammatory proteins, which include the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). Perturbation of the actin cytoskeleton has been previously shown to activate NF-κB signaling. In this study, we analyze the influence of different compounds that modulate the actin cytoskeleton on NF-κB activation, IL-6 signaling and the proteolytic generation of the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) in human hepatoma cells. We show that perturbation of the actin cytoskeleton is not sufficient to induce NF-κB activation and IL-6 secretion. However, perturbation of the actin cytoskeleton reduces IL-6-induced activation of the transcription factor STAT3 in Hep3B cells. In contrast, IL-6R proteolysis by the metalloprotease ADAM10 did not depend upon the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton. In summary, we uncover a previously unknown function of the actin cytoskeleton in IL-6-mediated signal transduction in Hep3B cells.
