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

In the last couple of decades, much progress has been made in studying bacteria living in humans. However, there is much more to learn about bacteria immune cell interactions. Here, we show that anaerobic bacteria do not grow when cultured overnight with human cells under atmospheric air. Air contains about 18% oxygen, which inhibits the growth of these bacteria while supporting the cultivation of human cells. The bacteria cultured with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) inflamed with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) greatly increased the production of proinflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) while inhibiting the production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), an important chemokine.
