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

High mechanical shear stresses (HMSS) can cause damage to blood, which manifests as morphologic changes, shortened life span, biochemical alterations, and complete rupture of blood cells and proteins, leading to the alterations of normal blood function. The aim of this study is to determine the state of neutrophil activation and function alterations caused by HMSS with short exposure time relevant to ventricular assist devices. Blood from healthy donors was exposed to three levels of HMSS (75Pa, 125Pa, and 175Pa) for a short exposure time (0.5 s) using our Couette-type blood-shearing device. Neutrophil activation (Mac-1, platelet-neutrophil aggregates) and surface expression levels of two key functional receptors (CD62L and CD162) on neutrophils were evaluated by flow cytometry. Neutrophil phagocytosis and transmigration were also examined with functional assays. Results showed that the expression of Mac-1 on neutrophils and platelet-neutrophil aggregates increased significantly while the level of CD62L expression on neutrophils decreased significantly after the exposure to HMSS. The Mac-1 expression progressively increased while the CD62L expression progressively decreased with the increased level of HMSS. The level of CD162 expression on neutrophils slightly increased after the exposure to HMSS, but the increase was not significant. The phagocytosis assay data revealed that the ability of neutrophils to phagocytose latex beads coated with fluorescently labeled rabbit IgG increased significantly with the increased level of HMSS. The transmigration ability of neutrophils slightly increased after the exposure to HMSS, but did not reach a significant level. In summary, HMSS with a short exposure time of 0.5 seconds could induce neutrophil activation, platelet-neutrophil aggregation, shedding of CD62L receptor, and increased phagocytic ability. However, the exposure to the three levels of HMSS did not cause a significant change in neutrophil transmigration capacity and shedding of CD162 receptor on neutrophils.
