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

Specific interference with molecular mechanisms guiding tissue localization of leukocytes may be of great utility for selective immunosuppressive therapies. We have discovered and characterized efomycines, a new family of selective small-molecule inhibitors of selectin functions. Members of this family significantly inhibited leukocyte adhesion in vitro. Efomycine M, which was nontoxic and showed the most selective inhibitory effects on selectin-mediated leukocyte-endothelial adhesion in vitro, significantly diminished rolling in mouse ear venules in vivo as seen by intravital microscopy. In addition, efomycine M alleviated cutaneous inflammation in two complementary mouse models of psoriasis, one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders. Molecular modeling demonstrated a spatial conformation of efomycines mimicking naturally occurring selectin ligands. Efomycine M might be efficacious in the treatment of human inflammatory disorders through a similar mechanism.
