Effect of adhesion on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) production in purified human neutrophils.
Article in Clinical and experimental immunology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 production of nitric oxide (NO) within neutrophils is an important element of the innate immune response. We have previously shown that cytokines (IL-1alpha, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma) induce human neutrophils in buffy coat preparations to produce iNOS. In order to define better the exact requirements for iNOS production within human neutrophils, we have studied the conditions needed for the production of iNOS in purified neutrophils. In contrast to buffy coat preparations, purified neutrophils in suspension did not produce an increase in iNOS following addition of cytokines. However, when purified neutrophils were allowed to adhere to glass surfaces either uncoated or coated with fetal calf serum (FCS), plasma, fibronectin or laminin, there was an increase in the percentage of iNOS-positive cells. The addition of cytokines during adhesion of these cells increased this proportion further. This was most marked for glass alone and FCS-coated glass on which the proportion of iNOS-positive cells increased to 22.7% and 35.5%, respectively, a significant increase compared with cytokine-treated neutrophils in suspension. Neither transmigration through activated endothelial monolayers nor the addition of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 to purified neutrophil suspensions increased the percentage of iNOS-positive cells following cytokine stimulation. Adhesion of neutrophils to surfaces coated with IgG or complement also failed to increase cytokine-induced iNOS production. We conclude that iNOS production in human neutrophils requires not only cytokine stimulation, but also additional stimuli from adhesion to a surface.
