Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein in host defense and its efficacy in the treatment of bacterial sepsis.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 55-kD bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) is a neutrophil-derived polypeptide belonging to a family of lipid and endotoxin binding proteins. BPI is composed of two functionally distinct structural domains: a potently antibacterial and antiendotoxin ∼ 20-kD aminoterminal half, and an opsonic carboxy-terminal portion. In multiple animal models, a recombinant amino-terminal fragment of BPI (rBPI21) is nontoxic and protects against gram-negative bacteria and endotoxin. In humans, rBPI21 is also nontoxic and nonimmunogenic and has undergone phase II/III clinical trials with apparent therapeutic benefit.
