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

The ability of vasculitis-associated anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) to activate neutrophils and mediate release of radiolabel from 111Indium-labeled cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was determined as a measure of the potential cytotoxicity of ANCA-activated neutrophils against vascular endothelium. Priming of neutrophils with low doses of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (1 ng/ml) and ionomycin (0.1 mumol/1) was required, together with pretreatment of endothelial cells with BCNU (1,3-bis-[2-chloroethyl]-1-nitrosourea; 0.26 mmol/l). Under these conditions and using a 4-hour serum-free assay system, mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to the target autoantigens proteinase-3 (Pr-3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) mediated enhanced release of 111Indium from HUVEC compared with control MAb. Human IgG Fab2 C-ANCA (recognizing Pr-3) and P-ANCA (recognizing MPO) did likewise. Preactivation of HUVEC with TNF (50 U/ml, 4 hr) enhanced the release of 111Indium from HUVEC generated by neutrophils activated with anti-Pr-3 and anti-MPO MAb. These data support the suggestion that activation of neutrophils by ANCA within the vascular lumen may contribute to endothelial cell injury.
