Increased expression of HLA-DR antigen on alveolar macrophages in pulmonary diseases.
Article in Virchows Archiv. A, Pathological anatomy and histopathology, 1989. 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 expression of HLA-DR antigen on alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage in healthy controls and patients with different diseases was investigated, using cytofluorographic analysis and phykoerythrin conjugated monoclonal mouse anti-human HLA-DR antibody. Alveolar macrophages in patients with extrinsic allergic alveolitis (n = 4), idiopathic lung fibrosis (n = 4), sarcoidosis (n = 6), rheumatoid lung disease (n = 6) and pulmonary infection (n = 5) showed increased density of HLA-DR antigen expression compared to healthy control subjects (n = 5). The increased expression of HLA-DR antigen on alveolar macrophages confirms the importance of these cells for recognition of antigens and immunological responses in different pulmonary diseases.
