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

Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), which is a superantigen toxin protein, binds to cytokine receptor gp130. Gp130 activates intracellular signaling pathways, including the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. The effects of SEA on the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in mouse spleen cells were examined. After treatment with SEA, mRNA expression levels of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and suppressor of cytokine-signaling 1 (SOCS1) increased. SEA-induced IFN-γ and SOCS1 expression were decreased by treatment with (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The phosphorylated STAT3, Tyr705, increased significantly in a SEA concentration-dependent manner in mouse spleen cells. Although (-)-3″-Me-EGCG did not inhibit SEA-induced phosphorylated STAT3, EGCG and (-)-4″-Me-EGCG significantly inhibited SEA-induced phosphorylated STAT3. It was thought that the hydroxyl group at position 3 of the galloyl group in the EGCG was responsible for binding to SEA and suppressing SEA-induced phosphorylation of STAT3. Through protein thermal shift assay in vitro, the binding of the gp130 receptor to SEA and the phosphorylation of STAT3 were inhibited by the interaction between EGCG and SEA. As far as we know, this is the first report to document that EGCG inhibits the binding of the gp130 receptor to SEA and the associated phosphorylation of STAT3.
