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 human pentraxin proteins, serum amyloid P component (SAP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are important in routine clinical diagnosis, SAP for systemic amyloidosis and CRP for monitoring the non-specific acute phase response. They are also targets for novel therapies currently in development but their roles in health and disease are controversial. Thus, both for clinical use and to rigorously elucidate their functions, structurally and functionally intact, pharmaceutical grade preparations of the natural, authentic proteins are required. We report here the production from normal human donor plasma and the characterization of the first such preparations. Importantly, we demonstrate that, contrary to reports using recombinant proteins and less well characterized preparations, neither CRP nor SAP stimulate the release by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro of any TNFα, IL-6 or IL-8, nor does SAP cause release of IL-1β or IL-10. Furthermore neither of our preparations was pro-inflammatory in mice in vivo.
