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

Foreign bodies such as fibers of a surgical mesh induce a typical reaction with an inflammatory infiltrate that forms a surrounding granuloma. This infiltrate is dominated by macrophages, lymphocytes, and neutrophils, whereas its extent of collaboration is widely unknown. In this study, we analyzed 12 samples of surgical meshes explanted from humans by multiplex analyses with three different 5-marker panels - 1. macrophage panel: CD68, CD86, CD105, CD163, and CD206; 2. lymphocyte panel: CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20, and CD68; and 3. neutrophil panel: CD15, histone, MPO, NE, and CD68. Measurement of fluorescence intensity within nuclear masks resulting from DAPI nuclear staining allows exact quantification of cells considered "positive" at a user-defined mean intensity threshold of > 100. Obviously, however, there is no natural threshold as a biological criterion for an intensity that separates "positive" stained cells from unstained cells ("negative"). Multiplex staining of 5 markers always reveals a high rate of coexpression for almost all of the 2
