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

purposeThis study was designed to illustrate the feasibility of using soluble CD47 protein to antagonize phagocytosis of colloidal drug carriers by macrophages.

methodsExpression of CD47-streptavidin (CD47-SA) fusion protein was achieved in B21CodonPlus host cells following IPTG induction. Murine macrophage cell line J774A.1, expressing high levels of SIRPalpha, was selected as the biologic model system for phagocytosis. FITC-labeled perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions were used as the colloidal carriers to trigger phagocytosis. Microscopy (inverted light and UV-fluorescence) and flow cytometry were used to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the degree of phagocytosis, respectively.

resultsThe bacterially expressed, purified CD47-SA had neither cytotoxic nor cytostatic effects when incubated with J774A.1 cells up to a concentration of 400 nM for 24 h. Phagocytosis of FITC-labeled PFC emulsions was significantly diminished when macrophages were pretreated with 100 nM CD47-SA for 1 h.

conclusionsWe demonstrated that soluble CD47-SA antagonized phagocytosis of colloidal carriers to a significant degree by interaction with macrophage SIRPalpha.
