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

In this study we investigated the effect of pyocyanine, a pigment produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, on production of reactive nitrogen intermediates by macrophages. We found that addition of pyocyanine to cultures of murine alveolar macrophages inhibited the capacity of these cells to produce reactive nitrogen intermediates (measured as nitrite) in a dose-dependent manner without altering cell viability, cytokine-induced Ia expression, or production of tumor necrosis factor.
