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

Effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on expression of early-response genes c-fos and Egr-1 and induction of cell growth were assessed in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Stimulation with arachidonic acid increased mRNA levels of c-fos and Egr-1. This effect was inhibited by preincubation with cyclooxygenase inhibitors and restored by addition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the predominant eicosanoid produced in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Further signaling of PGE2, was mediated by a protein kinase C-dependent pathway, since downregulation, or inhibition, of protein kinase C reduced increases in mRNA levels. Parallel to the stimulatory effects on mRNA levels, AA and PGE2 also increased cell growth, as determined by uptake of [3H]-thymidine. In contrast to arachidonic acid, n-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) did not increase c-fos and Egr-1 mRNA levels or cell growth. Furthermore, preliminary data indicate that EPA and DHA even reduce the stimulatory effect of AA, which is associated with reduced formation of PGE2. In conclusion, our data indicate that AA increases expression of growth-related early genes c-fos and Egr-1 Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts by its conversion to PGE2 and subsequent activation of protein kinase C, whereas n-3 fatty acids do not activate this signaling cascade.
