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

Human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) are thought to be immunosuppressive. The suppressive mechanism(s) used by PMN are, however, not well defined and in this study they were analysed using T-cell responses to CD3(+) CD28 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) as a readout. We demonstrate that in vitro activated PMN (PMN(act)) can, without any T-cell interaction, induce apparent T-cell suppression by inhibiting the stimulatory capacity of the CD3 mAb. However, a cell-directed suppression of T-cell proliferation was observed when PMN(act) were added to pre-activated T cells that are already committed to polyclonal proliferation. This suppression was partially reversed by catalase addition (P < 0·01) and largely reversed by addition of exogenous interleukin-2 (P < 0·001) but was not significantly reduced by nitric oxide synthase inhibition, myeloperoxidase inhibition or addition of excess arginine. Following removal of PMN(act) , suppressed T cells could respond normally to further stimulation. In addition to suppressing proliferation, co-culture with PMN(act) also induced a significant decrease in T-cell viability that was reversed by catalase addition (P < 0·05). The addition of the arginase inhibitor N-hydroxy-nor-l-arginine induced both a further significant, catalase-sensitive, loss in T-cell viability and increased nitrite release (P < 0·001). These data demonstrate that PMN, when activated, can both induce T-cell death and reversibly inhibit proliferation of activated T cells. The mechanisms underlying these distinct processes and the effects of arginase inhibitors on PMN induced cytotoxicity merit further investigation.
