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

It has been assumed that the rate-limiting step in the ligand-induced synthesis of prostaglandins is the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipid stores as a result of the activation of phospholipase. The assumption has been that the arachidonic acid is converted to PGH2 by the constitutive prostaglandin synthase/cyclooxygenase EC1.14.99.1 (PGS-1) enzyme present in cells. In this model, PGS-1 is proposed to be present in excess, and the production of arachidonic acid is thought to be rate limiting. However, a second prostaglandin synthase gene, PGS-2 has recently been described. The PGS-2 gene is induced by a variety of ligands, in cells as diverse as fibroblasts, monocytes, macrophages, smooth muscle cells, ovarian granulosa cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and neurons. Moreover, PGS-2 induction is inhibited in nearly all contexts by glucocorticoids. It seems likely, therefore, that the regulation of PGS-2 expression plays a critical role in the production of prostanoids, both in normal physiological processes and in pathophysiological processes involving these paracrine mediators. In this review, we consider the regulation of the two genes, PGS-1 and PGS-2, that encode the isoforms of prostaglandin synthase.
