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

Serum taken after the termination of microfilaraemia from rats infected with the filarial parasite Litomosoides carinii brought about adherence and cytotoxicity of normal rat spleen and peritoneal cells to microfilariae. The activity could be absorbed to, and eluted from, anti-rat IgE, but not anti-rat IgG, immunosorbent columns. Immune serum heated to 56 degrees C for 3 hr did not cause cellular adherence or cytotoxicity; the addition of fresh normal rat serum failed to restore activity. Fresh rat serum did, however, restore activity to immune serum which was inactive after being heated to 56 degrees C for 30 min. EDTA, EGTA and diethylcarbamazine inhibited adherence. It is concluded that IgE antibodies are responsible for cellular adherence and cytotoxicity and that complement may play a part, as yet undefined, in these reactions.
