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

Patients with liver cirrhosis are susceptible to infections with high short-term mortalities. One CD97-related EGF-TM7 molecule, EMR2 (EGF-like molecule containing mucin-like hormone receptor 2), had been shown to regulate human neutrophil function, potentiate systemic inflammation. Nevertheless, EMR2 could also suppress neutrophil survival. Studying the role of EMR2 on neutrophil would be intriguing. 48 healthy volunteers and 100 cirrhotic patients were enrolled. Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood and cell surface markers were measured by flow cytometry.EMR2 expression levels correlated with CTP scores and increased further in patients with infections. These EMR2-expressed neutrophils were with activated phenotype, but with deranged functions like increased resting oxidative burst and impaired phagocytosis ability. Ligation of EMR2 could increase the phagoburst capacity but not the phagocytosis ability. Furthermore, neutrophils with higher EMR2 expression were more apoptotic and lost the LPS-induced neutrophil survival. Finally, EMR2 expressions on neutrophils correlated with infections and their levels greater than 25 had an AUC = 0.708 for predicting mortality. In conclusion, EMR2 expression levels correlated with CTP scores and increased further in cirrhotic patients with infections. These high EMR2-expressed neutrophils had activated phenotype but with deranged functions. Higher levels of these EMR2-expressed neutrophils correlated with infectious complications and predict mortality.
