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 Pseudomonas aeruginosa-derived phenazine pigments pyocyanin and 1-hydroxyphenazine (1-hp) prime human neutrophils for enhanced, stimulus-activated release of superoxide and myeloperoxidase (MPO), respectively. In the present study, the modulatory potentials of the antimicrobial agents clindamycin, erythromycin, and roxithromycin (10 and 20 micrograms/ml) on the prooxidative interactions of pyocyanin and 1-hp (12.5 microM) with human neutrophils have been investigated. Clindamycin, erythromycin, and especially roxithromycin caused dose-related inhibition of the generation of superoxide by both untreated and pyocyanin-treated neutrophils during activation with either the synthetic chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP) or the calcium ionophore A23187. The antimicrobial agents also inhibited the generation of reactive oxidants by the MPO-H2O2-halide system during activation of both untreated and 1-hp-treated neutrophils by FMLP. These effects appeared to be due to drug-related interference with membrane-associated oxidative metabolism, since none of the antimicrobial agents inhibited the release of MPO by activated neutrophils, nor did they possess oxidant-scavenging properties. These data demonstrate that clindamycin, erythromycin, and especially roxithromycin antagonize the proinflammatory interactions of pyocyanin and 1-hp with neutrophils and indicate a possible therapeutic role for these antimicrobial agents in the prevention of tissue damage in diseases characterized by P. aeruginosa infection.
