Inadequate cytoplasmatic calcium signals in alveolar macrophages after cardiac surgery.
Trial report in Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.], 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
OBJECTIVE AND
designPatients undergoing cardiac surgery have an elevated risk for pulmonary complications. A dysfunction of alveolar macrophages (AM) might promote postoperative infections. Therefore intracellular calcium [Ca(2+)](i) as an important second messenger in cellular signaling was assessed in AM. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwelve patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) were enrolled in this clinical trial. After anesthesia induction and 2 h after cardiopulomary bypass (CPB) declamping, the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was collected preoperatively from the right middle lobe and postoperatively from the left lingula of the lung. Cell subpopulations and [Ca(2+)](i) signals were assessed via flow cytometry. To express the changes of [Ca(2+)](i) signals the Fluo4/FuraRed-Ratio was used.
resultsAfter surgery the [Ca(2+)](i) baseline in unstimulated AMs were significantly reduced (p < 0.001). A significant signal reduction after fMLP (p = 0.021) and C5a (p = 0.028) stimulation was found in FSC high AMs after surgery, even though all populations showed a trend of less responsiveness.
conclusionWe suggest that the reduced [Ca(2+)](i) signaling in postoperative AMs is caused by a reduced coupling to membrane channels. These preliminary data suggest an inadequate [Ca(2+)](i) signal of AM after surgery, which may contribute to a local immune dysfunction in the lung.
