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

objectiveThe PI-3 kinase-Akt pathway plays a role in cartilage anabolic as well as catabolic processes in response to activation by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and oncostatin M (OSM). The goal of this study was to determine how PI-3 kinase-Akt signaling regulates these seemingly opposing functions.

designMonolayer cultures of primary human articular chondrocytes were treated with IGF-1, IL-1β, OSM, or the combination of IL-1β and OSM in time course experiments. Activation of signaling proteins and MMP production were measured by immunoblotting. Cells were pre-treated with chemical inhibitors to block mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinases, PI-3 kinase, or JAK/STAT pathway activation. Constitutively active Akt1 and Akt3 were expressed to study stimulus-independent activation of Akt.

resultsIGF-1, OSM, and the combination of IL-1β and OSM but not IL-1β alone, stimulated phosphorylation of Akt which was sustained longer with IGF-1. IL-1β plus OSM, but not IGF-1, increased chondrocyte MMP-13 production which was inhibited with either a general PI-3 kinase inhibitor or specific inhibition of the PI-3 kinase-γ isoform. Akt1 or Akt3 activity alone was not sufficient to increase production of MMP-13. IL-1β/OSM induced MMP-13 production required activation of the MAP kinases, JNK and p38, as well as the JAK-STAT pathway which were activated by IL-1β plus OSM but not by IGF-1.

conclusionsThe chondrocyte integrates signals from the PI-3 kinase-Akt pathway with signals from MAP kinases and the JAK-STAT pathway to allow for a differential response to a pro-anabolic (IGF-1) and a pro-catabolic (IL-1β plus OSM) stimulus.
