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 studies have indicated that mast cells play an intermediate role in chemokine-induced neutrophil recruitment in vivo. The aim of the present investigation was to determine the role of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in neutrophil recruitment provoked by the CXC chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2). For this purpose, we used mast cell- and TNF-alpha-deficient mice and studied neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells in vitro and neutrophil recruitment in the mouse cremaster muscle in vivo. In contrast to the classical chemoattractant formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanin (fMLP), MIP-2 dose dependently increased neutrophil accumulation in vivo. This MIP-2-regulated neutrophil recruitment was abolished in mast cell-deficient mice. TNF-alpha increased E-selectin mRNA expression in both wild-type (WT) and mast cell-deficient mice. In contrast, MIP-2 challenge increased gene expression of E-selectin in WT but not in mast cell-deficient animals. Moreover, MIP-2-provoked extravascular accumulation of neutrophils was reduced by 78% in mice lacking TNF-alpha. In order to better define the role of mast cell-derived TNF-alpha in neutrophil responses to MIP-2, we used an in vitro endothelial cell adhesion assay with and without mast cells. Interestingly, MIP-2-induced neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells was decreased by 58% using TNF-alpha-deficient compared to WT mast cells. Moreover, mast cell secretion of TNF-alpha increased by more than 71% in response to challenge with MIP-2. Taken together, our results suggest that MIP-2-induced neutrophil recruitment is mediated by TNF-alpha released from local mast cells. These findings help to explain the complex molecular interactions between chemokines, mast cell activation and neutrophil infiltration in vivo.
