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

Neutrophils use intricate mechanisms for capturing and killing invading microorganisms. One mechanism entails the release of relaxed chromatin from the cell. Microbes are trapped by the extracellular chromatin and exposed to high local concentrations of bactericidal compounds. We examine the regulation of chromatin release by testing the contribution of microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton to the deployment of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Incubation of human neutrophils with nocodazole, a tubulin polymerization inhibitor, or cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin filamentation, severely diminished the ability of neutrophils to respond to LPS by releasing chromatin from the cells. In addition, pretreatment of neutrophils with M1/70, a monoclonal antibody to the Mac-1 integrin adhesion receptor, drastically reduced the deployment of chromatin into NETs. Analysis of histone deimination, the conversion of arginine to citrulline in 3 of the 4 core histones by peptidylarginine deiminase 4, revealed that the treatments inhibiting NET formation also reduced histone deimination. Our data indicate that NET formation requires functional tubulin and actin filaments and responds to engagement of Mac-1 integrins. Because histone deimination coincides with the release of NETs, we propose that these events represent overlapping mechanisms of neutrophil responses to infections.
