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

backgroundSignal regulate protein alpha (SIRPalpha) is involved in many functional aspects of monocytes. Here we investigate the role of SIRPalpha in regulating beta(2) integrin-mediated monocyte adhesion, transendothelial migration (TEM) and phagocytosis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

findingsTHP-1 monocytes/macropahges treated with advanced glycation end products (AGEs) resulted in a decrease of SIRPalpha expression but an increase of beta(2) integrin cell surface expression and beta(2) integrin-mediated adhesion to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha)-stimulated human microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC-1) monolayers. In contrast, SIRPalpha overexpression in THP-1 cells showed a significant less monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1)-triggered cell surface expression of beta(2) integrins, in particular CD11b/CD18. SIRPalpha overexpression reduced beta(2) integrin-mediated firm adhesion of THP-1 cells to either TNFalpha-stimulated HMEC-1 monolayers or to immobilized intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). SIRPalpha overexpression also reduced MCP-1-initiated migration of THP-1 cells across TNFalpha-stimulated HMEC-1 monolayers. Furthermore, beta(2) integrin-mediated THP-1 cell spreading and actin polymerization in response to MCP-1, and phagocytosis of bacteria were both inhibited by SIRPalpha overexpression. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: SIRPalpha negatively regulates beta(2) integrin-mediated monocyte adhesion, transendothelial migration and phagocytosis, thus may serve as a critical molecule in preventing excessive activation and accumulation of monocytes in the arterial wall during early stage of atherosclerosis.
