Inhibitory effects of nedocromil sodium on the in vitro induced migration and leukotriene formation of human granulocytes.
Article in Drugs, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils and eosinophils, are thought to actively contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma since they infiltrate into the lung tissue and may be activated locally to release bronchoconstrictor mediators. In this study we provide evidence that nedocromil sodium is capable of effectively inhibiting the platelet-activating factor (PAF) and zymosan-activated serum (ZAS)-induced chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) [IC50 approximately 1 nmol/L and 0.1 mumol/L respectively]. The same inhibitory potency was obtained with sodium cromoglycate. Thus, nedocromil sodium may effectively inhibit the mobilisation of inflammatory cells in the lung. Furthermore, nedocromil sodium is capable of inhibiting the formation of the bronchoconstrictor mediator leukotriene-C4 (LTC4) by eosinophils in a concentration-dependent way [IC30 for A23187: 5.6 10(-5) mol/L; IC30 for opsonised zymosan (OZ): 6.3 10(-5) mol/L], whereas this drug is not capable of inhibiting leukotriene-B4 (LTB4) formation by neutrophils. These findings indicate that nedocromil sodium inhibits the release of bronchoconstrictor mediators not only from mast cells but also from eosinophils.
