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

The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was determined by Coulter Counter, and data were used to calculate the intracellular drug concentrations. A total of 574 PBMC samples were collected from 190 patients. The MCV was 282.9 fl (minimum, 207.0; maximum, 354.6), with a standard deviation of 8.8%. Previous reports have often used a fixed value of 400 fl for the MCV, which may result in artificially low estimates of the intracellular concentrations of antivirals.
