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

Directed cell migration is a prerequisite not only for the development of the central nervous system, but also for topically restricted, appropriate immune responses. This is crucial for host defense and immune surveillance. Attracting environmental cues guiding leukocyte cell traffic are likely to be complemented by repulsive cues, which actively abolish cell migration. One such a paradigm exists in the developing nervous system, where neuronal migration and axonal path finding is balanced by chemoattractive and chemorepulsive cues, such as the neuronal repulsive guidance molecule-A (RGM-A). As expressed at the inflammatory site, the role of RGM-A within the immune response remains unclear. Here we report that RGM-A (i) is expressed by epithelium and leukocytes (granulocytes, monocytes, and T/B lymphocytes); (ii) inhibits leukocyte migration by contact repulsion and chemorepulsion, depending on dosage, through its receptor neogenin; and (iii) suppresses the inflammatory response in a model of zymosan-A-induced peritonitis. Systemic application of RGM-A attenuates the humoral proinflammatory response (TNF-α, IL-6, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1α), infiltration of inflammatory cell traffic, and edema formation. In contrast, the demonstrated anti-inflammatory effect of RGM-A is absent in mice homozygous for a gene trap mutation in the neo1 locus (encoding neogenin). Thus, our results suggest that RGM-A is a unique endogenous inhibitor of leukocyte chemotaxis that limits inflammatory leukocyte traffic and creates opportunities to better understand and treat pathologies caused by exacerbated or misdirected inflammatory responses.
