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

Absence of a functional nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase predisposes chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients to infection, and also to unexplained, exaggerated inflammation. The impaired recognition and removal (efferocytosis) of apoptotic neutrophils by CGD macrophages may contribute to this effect. We hypothesized that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) activation during CGD inflammation is deficient, leading to altered macrophage programming and decreased efferocytosis, and that PPARγ agonism would enhance resolution. using the gp91(phox-/-) murine model of X-linked CGD in a well-characterized model of sterile, zymosan-induced peritonitis, it was demonstrated that PPARγ expression and activation in CGD macrophages were significantly deficient at baseline, and acquisition was delayed over the course of inflammation relative to that of wild-type. Efferocytosis by macrophages reflected PPARγ activation during peritonitis and was impaired in CGD mice (versus wild-type), leading to accumulation of apoptotic neutrophils. Importantly, provision of the PPARγ agonist, pioglitazone, either prophylactically or during inflammation, significantly enhanced macrophage PPARγ-mediated programming and efferocytosis, reduced accumulation of apoptotic neutrophils, and normalized the course of peritonitis in CGD mice. As such, PPARγ may be a therapeutic target for CGD, and possibly other inflammatory conditions where aberrant macrophage programming and impaired efferocytosis delay resolution of inflammation.
