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.
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 urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR/CD87) exists both in cell-bound and soluble forms. Neutrophils contain extensive intracellular pools of uPAR that are translocated to the plasma membrane upon activation. In the present study, we investigated the ability of human neutrophils to shed uPAR from cell surface following activation and addressed the possible involvement of the released receptor in the inflammatory response. We first observed that the spontaneous release of suPAR by resting neutrophils was strongly and rapidly (within minutes) enhanced by calcium ionophore ionomycin and to a lesser extent when cells were primed with TNF-alpha and then stimulated with fMLP or IL-8. We demonstrated that suPAR is produced by resting and activated neutrophils predominantly as a truncated form devoid of N-terminal D1 domain (D2D3 form) that lacks GPI anchor. Migration of formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1)-transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells toward the supernatants harvested from activated neutrophils was significantly diminished when D2D3 form of suPAR was immunodepleted from the supernatants. We conclude that activated neutrophils release the chemotactically active D2D3 form of suPAR that acts as a ligand of FPRL1. Interestingly, we present evidence that GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) that has previously been shown to shed uPAR in cancer cells is not involved in suPAR release from human neutrophils. We suggest that production of the chemotactically active D2D3 form of suPAR by activated human neutrophils in vivo could contribute to the recruitment of monocytes and other formyl peptide receptors-expressing cells to the sites of acute inflammation where neutrophil accumulation and activation occur.
