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

Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-immune spleen cells co-inoculated into the peritoneal cavity of normal mice with BCG sonicate protein as antigen could induce an antigen-specific recruitment of neutrophils, dependent on the antigen dose and cell number. This response was significantly reduced by anti-T lymphocyte and anti-CD4 treatment of the immune spleen cells prior to the inoculation. Removal of adherent or phagocytic cells or lysis of B cells, had no significant effect. Killing of dividing cells in the splenic population induced a slight reduction in the ability of spleen cells to recruit neutrophils. M. avium sonicate protein was also able to induce BCG-immune spleen cells to mobilize neutrophils but bovine serum albumin, Listeria monocytogenes cytosolic protein and 65,000 MW heat shock protein were not. These results show that CD4+ T cells are able to induce neutrophil recruitment in an antigen-specific way during a mycobacterial infection.
