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

Ouabain is a cardiac steroid hormone with immunomodulatory effects. It inhibits neutrophils migration induced by different stimuli, but little is known about the mechanisms involved in this effect. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ouabain effect on chemotactic signaling pathways in neutrophils. For that, mice neutrophils were isolated from bone marrow, treated with ouabain (1, 10, and 100 nM) for 2 h, submitted to transwell chemotaxis assay and flow cytometry analysis of Akt, ERK, JNK, and p38 phosphorylation induced by zymosan. Ouabain treatment (1, 10 and, 100 nM) reduces neutrophil chemotaxis induced by chemotactic peptide fMLP, but this substance did not inhibit Akt, ERK, and JNK activation induced by zymosan. However, ouabain (1 and 10 nM) reduced p38 phosphorylation in zymosan-stimulated neutrophils. These results suggest that ouabain may interfere in neutrophil migration through p38 MAPK inhibition.
