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

Degranulation of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) was monitored in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals with or without pulmonary tuberculosis (HIV/TB and HIV groups, respectively) by measuring the release of beta-glucuronidase induced by interleukin-8 (IL-8). This was increased in a dose-dependent manner in the control groups consisting of healthy blood donors and patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. In contrast, PMNLs from the HIV and HIV/TB groups responded reciprocally in the same assay; that is, higher IL-8 input concentrations resulted in the release of less enzyme than lower IL-8 input concentrations. The degranulation response of PMNLs from HIV-1-infected individuals was similarly altered for another agonist, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, suggesting that impairment of the nonoxidative armature of PMNL was a more generalized phenomenon. However, impaired IL-8-induced degranulation was found to be associated with the reduced expression of both IL-8 receptors, A and B, on whole-blood PMNLs from HIV-1-infected patients compared with that on whole-blood PMNLs from healthy persons. The density of IL-8RA, in particular, was most reduced on the surfaces of PMNLs from those patients with the poorest degranulation in response to IL-8. Inefficient agonist-induced degranulation may contribute to the increased susceptibility of HIV-1-infected persons to secondary microbial infections, this being further exacerbated in HIV/TB patients who, in addition, display defects in phagocytosis and oxidative burst.
