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

Elucidating the mechanisms contributing to the dysregulated host response to infection as part of the syndrome is a current challenge in sepsis research. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are widely used in immunological studies. Density gradient centrifugation, a common method, is of limited use for blood drawn from patients with sepsis. A significant number of low-density granulocytes co-purify contributing to low purity of isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Whole blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin was drawn from patients with sepsis (n=14) and healthy volunteers (n=11). Immediately after drawing, the plasma fraction was removed and PBMC were isolated from the cellular fraction by density gradient centrifugation. Samples derived from patients with sepsis were subsequently incubated with cluster of differentiation 15 MicroBeads and granulocytes were depleted using magnetic-activated cell sorting. Core cellular functions as antigen presentation and cytokine secretion were analyzed in cells isolated from healthy volunteers (n=3) before and after depletion to confirm consistent functionality. We report here that depleting CD15
