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

Chemokines and their receptors control cell migration associated with routine immune surveillance, inflammation and development. They are also implicated in a large number of inflammatory diseases, cancer and HIV. Here we describe a rapid and efficient way to express and purify milligram quantities of multiple chemokine ligands (CCL7/MCP-3, CCL14/HCC-1, CCL3/MIP-1α and CXCL8/IL-8) containing C-terminal modifications to enable coupling to fluorescent dyes or small molecules such as biotin, in vitro. These labeled chemokines display wild-type behavior in both receptor binding and calcium mobilization assays. The ability to rapidly and inexpensively produce labeled chemokines opens the way for their use in many applications, including non-traditional chemokine-receptor interaction studies, both on intact cells and with purified receptor reconstituted in artificial membranes in vitro. Furthermore, the ability to immobilize chemokines to obtain ligand affinity columns aids in efforts to purify chemokine receptors for structural and biophysical studies, by facilitating the separation of functional proteins from their non-functional counterparts.
