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

purposeNeutrophils are essential effector cells in the immune response to traumatic injury. Although changes in receptor expression over time have been described in the literature, effective monitoring strategies are still lacking. This systematic review aims to identify reported neutrophil cell surface receptor dynamics after trauma and to determine the post-traumatic neutrophil signature over time, forming the basis for future immunomonitoring.

methodsWe conducted a systematic review to identify clinical studies describing neutrophil cell surface expression levels of relevant markers in the field of trauma. Reported post-traumatic alterations were gathered and pooled.

resultsA total of 1,266 publications were identified that used neutrophil phenotype in a clinical setting, of whom 34 were utilized for data extraction. The most frequently analyzed receptors were Mac-1/CD11b (n = 25), L-selectin/CD62L (n = 9). Fifteen studies investigated the Fcγ-receptor family. CD11b increases after moderate to severe trauma, peaking at 24 h, then decreases over 6 months. L-selectin shows early fluctuations, whereas CD16 decreases homogeneously after trauma. CD64, as well as other less well-described markers (CD13, CD46, CD55, CD59) show homogenous alterations following injury.

conclusionsThis study is the first comprehensive review on post-traumatic neutrophil receptor dynamics. By pooling available data from literature, a unique multi-parameter post-traumatic neutrophil signature, with both traditional neutrophil markers (CD11b, CD11a, CD62L, CD16, CD64) and novel markers has been identified. Future combining of these markers and subset analysis may form the basis for post-traumatic immunomonitoring.
