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

Nedocromil sodium (10(-10) - 10(-9) M) produced a dose-related inhibition of superoxide anion generation induced by platelet activating factor (PAF) in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). At a higher concentration (3 x 10(-7) M), nedocromil sodium significantly inhibited superoxide generation elicited by N-formyl-methionyl-leucylphenylalanine, but was unable to block the response to phorbol dibutyrate. Nedocromil sodium (10(-11) - 10(-5) M) enhanced PAF-stimulated lysozyme release in a non-concentration-dependent manner, and was completely ineffective in depressing PAF-induced release of [3H]arachidonic acid and the rise in cytosolic Ca2+. The preferential inhibitory effects of nedocromil sodium on PAF-induced activation of superoxide generation may provide insight into the therapeutic action of this drug as an anti-asthmatic agent.
