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

CD14, a pattern recognition receptor on monocyte and macrophage, plays a central role in innate immunity through recognition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide and initiation of inflammatory response. Recently, CD14/-260C>T promoter gene polymorphism has been found to be related to a risk of inflammatory diseases. Our results showed that the C allele frequency among Chinese in Taiwan was lower than those in Western countries. The membrane CD14 expression was significantly higher in TT as compared with CT and CC genotypes (P=0.034, 0.044, respectively). There was a higher level of soluble CD14 in TT and CT genotypes than in CC genotypes. In addition, TNFalpha production in whole blood was significantly higher in TT genotype than in CC genotype after stimulation by Chlamydiae. In conclusion, the single base pair polymorphism of CD14 promoter gene is associated with CD14 expression and Chlamydia-stimulated TNFalpha production, and may thus play some role in the chlamydia-induced inflammatory response.
