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

Increases (5-fold) in the rate of phosphorylation of beta-casein were observed in extracts of human gingival fibroblasts that had been stimulated by interleukin 1 (IL-1) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF). The induced kinase was cytosolic and had little activity on alpha-casein. Its chromatographic behaviour on anion-exchange and gel-filtration columns was similar to that of beta-casein kinase, an enzyme detected originally in MRC-5 cells stimulated by IL-1 and TNF. Phosphopeptide maps of beta-casein confirmed that the kinase activated in gingival fibroblasts had the same substrate specificity as beta-casein kinase. In gingival fibroblasts, beta-casein kinase activity was maximum after 15 min of stimulation by IL-1 or TNF, and remained activated for several hours. Activations of small heat-shock protein (hsp27) kinase and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase were also maximum 15 min after stimulation, but decreased to background levels within the next 30 min. Study of the effects of 21 agents other than IL-1 or TNF showed that none activated beta-casein kinase, whereas several activated MAP kinase or hsp27 kinase. beta-Casein kinase was also detected in extracts of bovine articular chondrocytes and human endothelial cells stimulated by IL-1 or TNF. Semi-purified preparations of fibroblast beta-casein kinase were not inactivated by phosphatases in vitro. Our results suggest that it may be involved in responses specific to IL-1 and TNF in a wide range of cell types and that its activation probably involves mechanisms other than its phosphorylation.
