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

Active research during recent years has clearly shown that the eosinophil is a potent inflammatory cell taking active part in almost all kinds of inflammatory processes. The activity of the human eosinophil is mediated by the secretion of four well characterized cytotoxic proteins, ECP, EPO, EPX/EDN and MBP in addition to lipid mediators such as LTC4 and PAF and toxic oxygen metabolites. The cytotoxic potential of the eosinophil has been demonstrated in a number of diseases with a close association of eosinophil accumulation with secretion of granule proteins and tissue injury. Also the measurements of the proteins in various body fluids have provided evidence for the active participation of eosinophils in a number of diseases such as asthma, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis to mention a few. The identification of the principles that attract eosinophils to the sites of inflammation must be a major goal in our attempts to control the activity of this potents cell.
