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

objectiveA compelling strategy for treatment of spinal cord injury is the blockade of integrin-mediated leukocyte extravasation using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against the alpha4 subunit of the alpha4beta1-integrin. However, little is known with respect to neutrophil function following anti-alpha4 mAb treatment. This study assessed the effects of anti-alpha4 mAb binding on neutrophil activation [reactive oxygen species (ROS) production], function (phagocytic activity) and anti-alpha4-mAb/alpha4beta1-integrin-complex internalization.

methodsResting, primed or stimulated rat neutrophils were incubated ex vivo with anti-alpha4 mAb or isotype-control antibody. ROS production, phagocytic activity, and anti-alpha4-mAb/alpha4beta1-integrin-complex internalization were determined by flow cytometry using dihydrorhodamine (DHR1,2,3), fluorescent microspheres, and indirect immunolabeling, respectively.

resultsBrief (0.5 h) incubation of resting, primed or activated neutrophils with anti-alpha4 mAb had no effect on ROS production and did not change neutrophil phagocytic activity. However, prolonged incubation (2 h), assessed only in resting neutrophils, increased ROS production. The anti-alpha4-mAb/alpha4beta1-integrin-complex was internalized after 1 h of anti-alpha4 mAb treatment and remained internalized up to 6 h.

conclusionNeutrophil ROS production and phagocytic function remain unaltered after brief anti-alpha4 mAb exposure, demonstrating that use of this mAb as a treatment should not adversely affect important beneficial roles of these cells.
