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

Recent evidence suggests that circulating leukocytes respond to physiological levels of fluid shear stress. This study was designed to examine the shear stress response of individual leukocytes adhering passively to a glass surface. Human leukocytes were exposed to a step fluid shear stress with amplitude between 0.2 and 4 dyn/cm(2) and duration between 1 and 20 min. The response of the cells was determined in the form of projected cell area measurements by high-resolution observation before, during, and after fluid shear application. All cells selected initially had a round morphology. After application of fluid shear many cells projected pseudopodia and spread on the glass surface. The number of leukocytes responding with pseudopod projection and the extent of cell spreading increased with increasing amplitude and duration of fluid shear stress. Pseudopod projection after exposure to a step fluid shear occurs following a delay that is insensitive to the shear stress amplitude and duration. Leukocytes that did not project pseudopodia and spread in response to low shear stress could be shown to respond to a second shear step of higher amplitude. The spreading response requires an intact actin network and activated myosin molecules. Depleting the cell glycocalyx with protease treatment enhances the spreading response in sheared leukocytes. These results indicate that passive leukocytes respond to fluid shear stress with active pseudopod projection and cell spreading. This behavior may contribute to cell spreading on endothelium and other cells as well as to transendothelial migration of leukocytes in the microcirculation.
