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

Conditioned medium produced by human mononuclear leucocytes (MNL) stimulated with formalin-fixed, heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus enhanced the killing of opsonized S. aureus by human neutrophils. This enhancement was not seen when conditioned medium from non-stimulated MNL or medium cultured in the absence of both bacteria and MNL was used. There was a five-fold decrease in survival of bacteria when neutrophils were treated with conditioned medium. Conditioned medium-treated neutrophils showed increased initial rate of killing but after 20-30 min the rate of killing was similar to that of non-conditioned medium-treated leucocytes. The neutrophils treated with conditioned medium showed increased production of chemiluminescence, superoxide and lysosomal enzyme release (from both azurophilic and specific granules) in response to opsonized S. aureus. The results demonstrate that bacterial interaction with MNL leads to the release of mediators (cytokines) which potentiate the anti-bacterial function of neutrophils.
