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

We have recently discovered bovine and human vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) express a novel constitutive Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B)/Rel-like activity (Lawrence, R., L.-J. Chang, U. Siebenlist, P. Bressler, and G.E. Sonenshein. 1994. J. Biol. Chem. 269:28913-28918), here termed SMC-Rel. Since cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of human vascular SMCs has been implicated in aberrant SMC proliferation during post-angioplasty restenosis, we tested the role of NF-kappa B/Rel activity in transactivation of the CMV immediate early (ie) promoter. The basal CMV ie promoter linked to three wild-type, but not mutant, copies of its NF-kappa B element was active in bovine aortic SMCs. The anti-oxidants N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or pentoxifylline (PTX), which are used clinically to reduce NF-kappa B/Rel activity, inhibited NF-kappa B driven promoter transactivation, and SMC-Rel binding activity. Treatment with either NAC or PTX was observed to slow the growth of the SMCs in a dose dependent fashion. Microinjection of either purified I kappa B-alpha, a naturally occurring specific inhibitor of NF-kappa B/Rel activity, or double-stranded oligonucleotides harboring wild type, but not non-binding mutants of NF-kappa B elements selectively inhibited SMC proliferation. Thus constitutive NF-kappa B/Rel activity appears essential for proliferation of vascular SMCs and might be a novel target for therapeutic intervention for restenosis.
