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

We show that the coumeromycin antibiotic novobiocin, a potent inhibitor of ADP ribosylation, prevents lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and IL-10 secretion in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. It shares these cytokine-suppressing properties with other inhibitors of ADP ribosylation. We found that novobiocin prevents TNF-alpha production by inhibiting translation of the TNF-alpha mRNA. Elevated TNF-alpha levels in mice treated with D-galactosamine (GalN)-LPS or GalN-TNF were not reduced by novobiocin; however, the drug exhibited hepatoprotective properties. Novobiocin causes downregulation of the surface molecules on monocytes, among which CD14 was the most affected. The diminished expression of surface molecules was not observed on T and B lymphocytes. Similar to other inhibitors of ADP ribosylation, novobiocin prevents LPS-induced phosphate labelling of gamma-actins.
