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

Baboons are an ideal model for studies of human inflammatory response due to their physiological and immunological similarities to people; however; little is known about how age affects immune function in the baboon. We sought to determine if baboons show age-related innate immune changes similar to that described in people. Age was correlated with increased serum C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 or, however, no change in interleukin-10 concentration was observed (n = 120 baboons). Cytokine release from unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as following immune (lipopolysaccharide) stimulation increased with age. When whole blood was assayed, both lipopolysaccharide stimulated and unstimulated samples showed an age-related increase in interleukin-6 response, although the unstimulated cytokine response was reduced compared with that observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Tumor necrosis factor-α response was not related to age. Cytokine response in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated whole blood was negatively correlated with serum DHEA-S concentration and positively correlated with TGF-β concentration.
