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

Human monocytes, co-incubated for 7 days in culture with GM-CSF or IL-3 but not with IFN-gamma, exerted a variable schistosotnulicidal effect on Schistosoma mansoni parasites when grown in 96-well round-bottomed plates but not in flat-bottomed plates. Addition of LPS or IFN-gamma or both, for the last 48 h did not enhance the cidal effect. Addition of LPS but not IFN-gamma to the pre-incubated cells with GM-CSF or IL-3 markedly stimulated TNF-alpha production by the cells but not their cidal activity. The variable cidal effects obtained with the monocytes/macrophages from different donors suggest that these effects may be genetically predetermined and are possibly linked to blood group markers or to MHC class I or II antigens.
