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

Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) and their counterreceptors such as intercellular cell adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and ICAM-2), junctional adhesion molecules (JAM-A, JAM-C), and receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are crucial for promoting polymorphonuclear leukocyte (neutrophil, PMN) recruitment. The underlying mechanisms of ligand-specific bindings in this cascade remain incompletely known. We compared the dynamic force spectra for various LFA-1/Mac-1-ligand bonds using single-molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) and tested their functions in mediating PMN recruitment under in vitro shear flow. Distinct features of bond rupture forces and lifetimes were uncovered for these ligands, implying their diverse roles in regulating PMN adhesion on endothelium. LFA-1 dominates PMN adhesion on ICAM-1 and ICAM-2, while Mac-1 mediates PMN adhesion on RAGE, JAM-A, and JAM-C, which is consistent with their bond strength. All ligands can trigger PMN spreading and polarization, in which Mac-1 seems to induce outside-in signaling more effectively. LFA-1-ICAM-1 and LFA-1/Mac-1-JAM-C bonds can accelerate PMN crawling under high shear stress, presumably due to their high mechanical strength. This work provides new insight into basic molecular mechanisms of physiological ligands of β2 integrins in PMN recruitment.
