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

Blood neutrophil counts are determined by the differentiation and proliferation of precursor cells, the release of mature neutrophils from the bone marrow, margination, trafficking and transmigration through the endothelial lining, neutrophil apoptosis, and uptake by phagocytes. This brief review summarizes the regulation of blood neutrophil counts, which is in part controlled by G-CSF, IL-17, and IL-23. Neutrophils are retained in the bone marrow through interaction of CXCL12 with its receptor CXCR4. The relevance of this mechanism is illustrated by rare diseases in which disrupting the desensitization of CXCR4 results in failure to release mature neutrophils from bone marrow. Although blood neutrophil numbers in inbred mouse strains and individual human subjects are tightly controlled, their large variation among outbred populations suggests genetic factors. One example is benign ethnic neutropenia, which is found in some African Americans. Reduced and elevated neutrophil counts, even within the normal range, are associated with excess all-cause mortality.
