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

backgroundIn addition to the long-known antibacterial actions of neutrophils, neutrophils are recognized to have a variety of other effects and are functionally diverse. Neutrophils can either stimulate or inhibit B cells and T cells, regulate NK development and activity, augment or direct the resolution of inflammation, act as myeloid-derived suppressor cells, modulate tumour growth and metastasis and trigger autoimmune diseases. CEACAMs 1, 3, 6 and 8 are expressed on human neutrophils.

methodsA literature review was performed on the role of CEACAMs in neutrophil function.

resultsCEACAMs 1, 6 and 8 can be upregulated from intracellular stores, while CEACAM3, an opsonin-independent phagocytic receptor, is constitutively expressed. CEACAM1 has an intracellular ITIM motif and an ITSM motif, and CEACAM3 has an ITAM-like motif; CEACAMs 6 and 8 are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked. CEACAM8 can also be released in a soluble form. These CEACAMs can interact with multiple other host CEACAMs as well as other molecules on bacteria, fungi and host cells, both transmitting and receiving signals. Known CEACAM-binding pathogens bind the CFG face of the N domain which is also important in CEACAM-CEACAM binding, although the ABDE face also appears to be involved in higher-order oligomers.

conclusionsUnderstanding the exact role of each individual CEACAM in human neutrophils is complicated by the fact that the neutrophil CEACAMs can interact with multiple ligands. The data demonstrates some of the many roles of CEACAMs in neutrophil function and the extensive role of the neutrophil in human biology beyond its classical role as a short-lived phagocyte.
