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

After injury to the CNS, extracellular matrix molecules such as tenascin are upregulated around the injury site and may be involved in inhibition of axon growth. In the present study, astrocytes were investigated to determine which cell types, growth factors, or cytokines are responsible for the injury-induced regulation of tenascin. The addition of activated macrophage- or microglial-conditioned medium increased astrocytic expression of tenascin 2.5-fold, as determined by Northern and Western blot analysis and ELISA. Of the cytokines and growth factors examined, only transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) significantly induced an increase in the production of astrocytic tenascin. Examination of macrophage and microglial supernatants showed the presence of TGF-beta1 but not bFGF; however, the TGF-beta1 concentration in supernatants was lower than that expected to induce an increase in astrocytic tenascin similar to that seen with recombinant TGF-beta1. Western blot analysis of astrocytes showed only the presence of bFGF. Compared with the responses of the individual growth factors, tenascin production by astrocytes was dramatically potentiated when grown in the presence of a combination of both TGF-beta1 and bFGF. A similar synergistic effect was observed after the addition of either TGF-beta1 or bFGF to macrophage-conditioned medium. Northern analysis also showed concomitant increases in TGF-beta1, bFGF, and tenascin after CNS injury to animals 14 d of age or older. These results show that the regulation of astrocytic tenascin is mediated by the synergistic action of TGF-beta1 and bFGF in vitro and after injury in vivo.
