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

The many and varied pathological, immunological and physiological manifestations of infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis may be unified by considering the role of leukocyte-generated free oxygen radicals in worm expulsion. Aside from directly damaging the adult stage of N.brasiliensis and possibly leading to its elimination from the small intestine, free radicals may also damage intestinal cells, thereby contributing to the gut pathology characteristic of infection. gamma-Interferon (and possibly tumour necrosis factor) may be involved in the initiation of free radical generation in response to N. brasiliensis and may also contribute to various side effects of infection such as hypertriglyceridaemia and cachexia. gamma-Interferon may initiate free radical generation via the agency of protein kinase C, an enzyme that can induce various additional responses including lysosomal enzyme and amine secretion and arachidonic acid metabolism. The possible interactions between these mediators and free radicals are subtle and diverse and may profoundly affect the course of infection.
