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

Interleukin 5 (IL-5) acts on eosinophil differentiation and activation, suggesting the existence of a membrane receptor for IL-5 on eosinophils. Here, we report that 125I-labeled recombinant human IL-5 bound, at 4 degrees C, to high affinity receptors on human eosinophils. The association constant was higher for hypodense eosinophils (1.93 x 10(9) M-1) than for normodense cells (0.39 x 10(9) M-1), with a closely related number of receptor sites per cell. No specific binding occurred on neutrophils. The specific binding of IL-5 was induced by overnight incubation at 37 degrees C of human eosinophils with granulocyte/macrophage (GM)-CSF. The levels of increase were significantly higher for normodense than for hypodense eosinophils, suggesting a previous in vivo activation of the later subpopulation by GM-CSF. IL-3 was ineffective by itself but synergistically enhanced the effect of GM-CSF. Specificity studies showed that the binding of 125I-labeled IL-5 was inhibited by IL-5, but not by other cytokines, on human eosinophils. These results show the existence of a specific binding site for IL-5 on human eosinophils with a variable affinity on eosinophil hypodense or normodense subpopulations, as previously reported for other membrane receptors.
