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

The present study was designed to re-evaluate the chemotactic activity of recombinant tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin (LT). TNF and LT induced migration of human monocytes across polycarbonate filter in a 90-min assay. Preincubation with FMLP rendered monocytes unresponsive to subsequent exposure to the same chemoattractant. FMLP-desensitized monocytes retained full responsiveness when exposed to TNF as chemotactic stimulus. The converse was observed when monocytes were deactivated specifically to TNF. FMLP receptor antagonists did not interfere with TNF chemotaxis. A monoclonal anti-TNF antibody inhibited the chemotactic activity of recombinant TNF. These results indicate that, under the experimental conditions utilized here, TNF elicits chemotaxis of human monocytes.
