Inhibition of cytokine production and adhesion molecule expression by ibuprofen is without effect on transendothelial migration of monocytes.

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.
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
The present study focusses on the effects of ibuprofen and its enantiomers on cytokine production by peripheral blood monocytes and endothelial cells as well as on the potential modulation of ADM-expression by human umbilical vein endothelial cells and the concomitant effects on monocyte transendothelial migration as measured by a cell migration assay system. This consists of an endothelial cell monolayer on a solid collagen substrate, i.e. an artificial vessel wall construct. We observed a significant inhibition by 100 microg/ml ibuprofen of VCAM-1 expression by endothelial cells while ELAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression was not influenced. However, we could not see any concomitant inhibitory effects on the spontaneous migration of monocytes after preincubating the endothelial cell monolayer with ibuprofen up to concentrations of 100 microg/ml and activating with suboptimal and optimal concentrations of TNF-alpha. Our monocyte transendothelial migration system reflects very sensitively endothelial cell-activation even by very low TNF-alpha concentrations. (S)- and (R)-ibuprofen were equal in their inhibitory/activating effects on cytokine production, with the exception of stronger IL-8 induction in endothelial cells by (R)-ibuprofen as compared to its chiral analogue.
