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

NADPH oxidase of the phagocytic cells (Nox2) transfers electrons from cytosolic NADPH to molecular oxygen in the extracellular or intraphagosomal space. The produced superoxide anion (O*2) provides the source for formation of all toxic oxygen derivatives, but continuous O*2 generation depends on adequate charge compensation. The vital role of Nox2 in efficient elimination of microorganisms is clearly indicated by human pathology as insufficient activity of the enzyme results in severe, recurrent bacterial infections, the typical symptoms of chronic granulomatous disease. The goals of this contribution are to provide critical review of the Nox2-dependent cellular processes that potentially contribute to bacterial killing and degradation and to indicate possible targets of pharmacological interventions.
