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 specific detection of peroxidase activity in human granulocytes is essential to elucidate their role in innate immune responses, immune regulation, and inflammatory diseases. The halogenating activity of myeloperoxidase in neutrophils can be determined by the novel fluorescent probe aminophenyl fluorescein (APF). Thereby non-fluorescent APF is oxidized by HOCl to form fluorescein. We successfully verified that APF equally detects the hypobromous acid (HOBr)-producing activity of eosinophil granulocytes. This was revealed by three different approaches. First, we investigated the conversion of non-fluorescent APF into fluorescein by HOCl and HOBr by means of fluorescence and mass spectrometry approaches. Thereby comparable chemical mechanisms were observed for both acids. Furthermore in vitro kinetic studies were used to detect the halogenating activity of myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase by using APF. Here the dye well reflected the different substrate specificities of myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase regarding chloride and bromide. Finally, peroxidase activities were successfully detected in phorbol ester-stimulated neutrophils and eosinophils using flow cytometry. Thereby inhibitory studies confirmed the peroxidase-dependent oxidation of APF. To sum up, APF is a promising tool for further evaluation of the halogenating activity of peroxidases in both neutrophils and eosinophils.
