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

Complete activation of macrophages during immune responses results from stimulation with the activating cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and a second stimulus, usually a microbial product. Bacterial infection of macrophages, or treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), resulted in rapid Stat1 phosphorylation on Ser727 (S727) independently of concomitant tyrosine phosphorylation. IFN-gamma also caused rapid phosphorylation of S727. In both situations, S727 phosphorylation was reduced by pre-treatment of cells with the serine kinase inhibitor H7. When macrophages were treated sequentially or simultaneously with LPS and IFN-gamma, the pool of molecules phosphorylated on both Tyr701 (Y701) and S727 was strongly increased. Consistently, Stat1-dependent transcription in response to IFN-gamma was significantly enhanced if the cells were pre-treated with bacterial LPS. The relative amount of S727-phosphorylated Stat1 in the non-tyrosine phosphorylated fraction was considerably smaller than that in the tyrosine-phosphorylated fraction. No evidence was found for an effect of S727 phosphorylation on the phosphorylation of Y701 by IFN-gamma. Thus, serine and tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat1 are caused independently of each other, but the serine kinase may recognize tyrosine-phosphorylated Stat1 preferentially in the course of an IFN-gamma response. The data suggest Stat1 to be a convergence point for immunological stimuli in a macrophage proinflammatory response.
