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

Human alveolar macrophages were obtained during diagnostic bronchoalveolar lavage. Cells were cultured, and morphological examination (including electron microscopy) revealed that not more than 5% of the cultured cells were identifiable as cells other than alveolar macrophages. The cells were sensitized with human myeloma immunoglobulin E. and then challenged with anti-immunoglobulin E anti-sera. The experiments employed a highly specific monoclonal antibody and three affinity purified reagents. The formation of immunoglobulin E/anti-immunoglobulin E complexes facilitated release from alveolar macrophages of leukotriene B4, prostaglandin F2 alpha, thromboxane B2 and the lysosomal hydrolase N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase. There was no release of active oxygen species, with this stimulus, as measured by lucigenin chemiluminescence. Immunoglobulin E receptors were identified histochemically on the surface of human alveolar macrophages, and were visualized as conjugates with colloidal gold by electron microscopy. These results support the view that human alveolar macrophages may contribute to type 1 hypersensitivity reactions in the lung.
