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

1. The effects of an oral platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonist, BN52063, or matched placebo on inhaled PAF challenge were assessed in a double-blind study in eight normal subjects. 2. PAF (24 micrograms) induced an immediate bronchoconstriction, with a maximum fall in flow at 30% of vital capacity from a partial flow volume manoeuvre (Vp30) of 47.1 +/- 7% (mean +/- s.e. mean) 5 min after inhalation following placebo treatment. Repeated PAF challenges at 15 min intervals resulted in tachyphylaxis of the bronchoconstrictor response. 3. Two hours after the ingestion of BN52063 (120 mg) the maximum bronchoconstriction induced by inhaled PAF was attenuated (35.9 +/- 9% fall at 5 min) with a significant reduction (P less than 0.05) in response after the first and second inhalations. 4. Inhaled PAF induced an immediate neutropenia (73.2 +/- 9% fall 5 min after inhalation) followed by a rebound neutrophilia, which were unaffected by pretreatment with BN52063. 5. Oral ingestion of a dose of BN52063 which is effective in reducing skin responses to PAF gave partial protection against the bronchoconstrictor effect of inhaled PAF in normal subjects.
