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

Transgenic animals or animals engrafted with retrovirus-derived expression vectors provide models for studying the in vivo effects of high and continuous serum levels of cytokines. Studies employing these models in order to analyze the biological effects for granulocytes-macrophages colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), granulocytes of interleukin (IL-)2, IL-3, IL-6 and erythropoietin are reviewed. In all of these models, overexpression of the different cytokines achieved by use of these approaches resulted in syndromes that were related to nonneoplastic hyperplasia of the respective target cell population. In some but not all models, these syndromes were lethal, mostly due to hypercellularity. These models allow conclusions about the biological effects of very high and continuous levels of these substances as well as about their regulation in different tissues.
