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

purposeUpon glucocorticoid stimulation, human mononuclear leucocytes express an antigen, RM3/1, which characterizes a subpopulation of human monocytes and macrophages evolving in late phase of inflammation. We investigated biochemical properties of the RM3/1 antigen and correlations between antigen expression and glucocorticoid potency.

methodsBiochemical properties were analyzed after solubilization by immunoaffinity methods and SDS-PAGE.

resultsInduction of the RM3/1 antigen is a glucocorticoid receptor mediated process, in contrast, inflammatory mediators such as LPS or TPA were not able to upregulate RM3/1 expression. After SDS-PAGE, the antigen appeared as a 130 kDa (nonreduced)/150 kDa (reduced) glycoprotein with a 25 kDa N-linked glycoportion. The interdependence between antigen density and glucocorticoid efficacy was assessed by calculation of relative antigen expression induced by dexamethasone, fluticasone propionate, budesonide, triamcinolone acetonide, flunisolide, beclomethasone, prednisolone and triamcinolone. Relative antigen expression was significantly correlated with the relative receptor affinity of the glucocorticoid.

conclusionsWe described biochemical properties of the glucocorticoid-induced protein RM3/1. Though the precise role of the RM3/1 antigen in the antiinflammatory process is not fully understood yet, an useful application of the induced expression could already be demonstrated for pre-clinical screening of glucocorticoid potency.
