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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by a dysregulated recruitment of circulating leucocytes into the lung which is associated with the onset and progress of the disease. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is expressed on leucocytes and plays an essential role in primary leucocyte-endothelial cell adhesive contacts. The present study investigated if PSGL-1 is up-regulated on leucocytes of COPD patients. Peripheral blood samples were collected from COPD patients as well as controls (smoking, nonsmoking volunteers) and subjected to analysis of PSGL-1 expression on leucocytes, i.e. neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes by flow cytometry. No significant difference was observed between healthy nonsmoking and healthy smoking control subjects. In contrast, PSGL-1 expression was found to be significantly increased on the surface of all four leucocyte populations in COPD patients compared to both control groups. The finding that PSGL-1 surface expression is up-regulated on leucocytes of COPD patients as compared to leucocytes of controls suggests PSGL-1 as a potential target for anti-inflammatory treatment.
