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

During inflammation neutrophils rapidly migrate to the site of tissue damage or infection by following complex gradients of bacterial peptides and host-derived chemokines. The efficiency and speed of neutrophil migration is critically dependent upon the ability of neutrophils to sense new gradients and utilize only those that provide the most direct path to the damaged or infected site. Receptor desensitization plays an important role in migration efficiency and is most commonly studied using bath application of chemotactic factor solutions instead of presenting cells with gradients analogous to those they would experience in vivo. Here we describe a new method for examining gradient-induced neutrophil desensitization using a previously-developed open-chamber microfluidic gradient generator.
