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

The clinical and epidemiologic features of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections suggest that RSV-specific antibody may sometimes contribute to the disease process. Recently, it has been demonstrated that virus-specific antibody can enhance RSV infection of macrophagelike cells in vitro. We evaluated the possibility that antibody might also enhance RSV stimulation of the bronchoactive mediator of inflammation leukotriene C-4 (LTC4)in a macrophagelike cell line, U937. The addition of RSV led to little increase in LTC4 production, but addition of RSV plus anti-RSV antibody increased production to a level similar to that achieved with calcium ionophore, a known stimulator of LTC4 production. The antibody-enhanced increase in LTC4 production occurred rapidly (within 15 min), peaked at 60 min, and achieved levels 1.5- to 3.0-fold above that for cells or cells plus virus. RSV plus anti-RSV antibodies in the form of polyclonal serum, monoclonal antibodies, or F(ab')2 fragments and parainfluenza virus types 1 and 3 plus their respective antibodies all increased LTC4 levels over that for the virus alone. These results demonstrate that antibody plus the corresponding virus or protein can increase leukotriene production. This phenomenon could contribute to diseases, such as RSV bronchiolitis, that appear to be caused by an interaction between the virus (or antigen) and host immunity.
