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

backgroundMicroparticles (MPs) are 0.3 μm to 1.0 μm vesicles generated after cell activation or apoptosis that may play a role in the pathophysiology of sepsis. We sought to elucidate the role of MPs in patients with critical illness and hypothesized that MPs are generated at the site of inflammation and can modulate the immune response.

methodsSurgical patients with critical illness with ongoing sepsis were enrolled from the intensive care unit of an urban, Level I trauma center from March to June 2011. Abdominal washings and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were collected from sites of inflammation. MPs were isolated using differential centrifugation, then characterized by flow cytometry. Immunologic assays were conducted by incubating neutrophil-derived MPs (NDMPs) with a human monocytic cell line (THP-1). A p value ≤0.05 was considered significant.

resultsMPs were absent in noninflamed foci in patients, whereas NDMPs were present in locations of inflammation. NDMPs were added to cultured THP-1 cells to quantify immunomodulatory effects. THP-1 cells were able to phagocytose NDMPs. Cells that ingested NDMPs demonstrated increased activation. In contrast, bystander THP-1 cells without ingested NDMPs demonstrated decreased activation.

conclusionNDMPs are generated at the site of inflammation in patients with critical illness during sepsis. They have a divergent effect on the immune response by activating phagocytic cells and deactivating bystander cells. NDMPs may play an important role in regulating the inflammatory response to sepsis in patients with critical illness.
