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 chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who have mutated phagocyte NADPH oxidase are susceptible to infections due to reduced reactive oxygen species production and exhibit autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in the absence of evident infection. Neutrophils and macrophages have been extensively studied since phagocyte NADPH oxidase is mainly found only in them, while the impact of its deficiency on lymphocyte cellularity is less well characterized. We showed herein a zymosan-induced systemic inflammation model that CGD mice deficient in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase gp91phox subunit (NOX2) exhibited more severe thymic atrophy associated with peripheral blood and splenic lymphopenia and reduced lymphopoiesis in the bone marrow in comparison with the wild-type mice. Conversely, the zymosan-exposed CGD mice suffered from more remarkable neutrophilic lung inflammation, circulating and splenic neutrophilia, and enhanced granulopoiesis compared with those in zymosan-exposed wild-type mice. Overall, this study provided evidence that NOX2 deficiency exhibits severe thymic atrophy and lymphopenia concomitant with enhanced neutrophilic inflammation in a zymosan-induced systemic inflammation model.
