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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveAlveolar macrophages (AMs) activated have the antitumor activity. The interferon-γ (INF-γ) is one of the stimulating factors. INF-γ can enhance the immune function of AMs in vitro. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of human INF-γ gene on the antitumor activity of AMs when transfected into the alveolar macrophages (AMs) from the patients with lung cancer in vitro.

methodsAMs obtained by brochoalveolar lavage were separated and transfected by INF-γ gene. RT-PCR and ELISA were applied to determine whether the transfection was successful. The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) produced by AMs and the killing activity of AMs against L1210 cells was detected respectively.

resultsBoth RT-PCR and ELISA demonstrated that human INF-γ gene had been successfully transfected into AMs. When transfected by human INF-γ gene, the levels of TNF-α, NO and IL-1 produced by AMs from the patients with lung cancer and the killing activity of AMs against L1210 cells were significantly higher than those of the control groups.

conclusionHuman INF-γ gene can enhance the antitumor activity of AMs when transfected into AMs from the patients with lung cancer.
