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

Multiple members (DUSP1-29) of dual-specificity phosphatase (DSP) family are key regulators of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which regulate numerous physiological responses. Eight DUSPs are also named MAPK phosphatases (MKPs). DUSP dysregulation contributes to the pathogenesis of various human inflammatory and chronic diseases. Downregulation of DUSP1, DUSP3, DUSP11, and DUSP22, as well as upregulation of DUSP4, DUSP6, and DUSP23 are involved in human autoimmune diseases. Besides autoimmune diseases, reduction of DUSP1, DUSP2, and DUSP14, as well as induction of DUSP8 contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Additionally, decreased levels of DUSP2, DUSP11, DUSP22, and DUSP28 are associated with human inflammatory bowel diseases. Moreover, deficiency of 10 DUSPs, as well as induction of DUSP4 are associated with metabolic diseases. Downregulation of 5 DUSPs are involved in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis; in contrast, upregulation of other 5 DUSPs are correlated with cardiovascular diseases. Collectively, dysregulated DUSPs could be diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases. Due to complex expression patterns of DUSPs, it is crucial to study the regulatory mechanisms of individual DUSPs in various inflammatory and chronic diseases. In this review, we summarize the roles and regulatory mechanisms of DUSPs in human inflammatory and chronic diseases. We also discuss the potential therapeutic applications of DUSP agonists/inhibitors in human inflammatory and chronic diseases.
