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

The chemotactic responses of human blood neutrophils and of eosinophils of two different densities, which were resolved by centrifugation on gradients of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silica gel (Percoll), were quantified in modified Boyden micropore filter chambers using highly purified synthetic 1-0-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphocholine (AGEPC or PAFacether) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) as stimuli. Maximal chemotactic responses of the densest eosinophils, less dense eosinophils, and neutrophils were evoked by 1 nM, 100 nM, and 1 microM PAFacether, respectively, and by 30-100, 30-100, and 10 nM LTB4. The magnitude of the maximal chemotactic response to PAFacether of the densest eosinophils was significantly greater than that of neutrophils. The eosinophil responses to PAFacether were chemotactic, as distinguished from chemokinetic, and were not influenced by the percentage of contaminating neutrophils. PAFacether is a more potent chemotactic factor for eosinophils than neutrophils and selectively attracts the densest population of human blood eosinophils.
