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

YKL-40 is secreted by macrophages and neutrophils and patients with bacterial infections have elevated circulating YKL-40. The aim was to evaluate changes in plasma YKL-40 (determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 0, 2, 4, 8, 24 and 32 h) in eight healthy volunteers after injection with Esherichia coli endotoxin or saline. Plasma YKL-40 increased after endotoxin injection from 31 microg/l (range 19-39 microg/l) to a maximum of 159 microg/l (61-552 microg/l, P < 0.01) at 24 h. The finding that plasma YKL-40 increased after endotoxin injection compared with saline (P < 0.001) suggests that YKL-40 has a functional role in infections.
