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

Infections in cystic fibrosis (CF), often involving Pseudomonas aeruginosa, result from a dysregulated airway immunity where one hallmark is the accumulation of necrotic and apoptotic immune cells, in particular neutrophils. In addition, neutrophils actively release DNA, forming neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that contain antimicrobial proteins. Altogether, free DNA in complex with actin accumulates in the airway lumen, resulting in highly viscous sputum that provides an anionic matrix, binding cationic antimicrobial proteins. In this study, granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (GCP-2)/CXCL6, a neutrophil-activating chemokine with bactericidal properties, was detected in the airway epithelium of CF patients and was also present in azurophilic and specific granules of neutrophils. Elastase of neutrophils, but not of P. aeruginosa, completely degraded CXCL6 (chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6). In addition, CXCL6 colocalized with extracellular DNA in both CF sputa and in in vitro-formed NETs. In vitro, CXCL6 bound DNA with a KD of 2,500 nM. Interestingly, both the bactericidal and the receptor-activating properties of CXCL6 (against neutrophils) remained largely unaffected in the presence of DNA. However, the chemotactic properties of CXCL6 were reduced by the presence of DNA. Taken together, CXCL6 is expressed in CF, retaining its functional properties even after binding to the anionic scaffold that extracellular DNA provides in CF.
