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

Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 promotes the initial interaction between macrophages and T cells during immune activation. We have measured serum levels of soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) by ELISA in 27 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), 31 with Crohn's disease (CD), and 29 healthy subjects. The median sICAM-1 serum concentration was significantly increased in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients (355 ng/ml, range 195-855) compared to controls (245 ng/ml, 155-580) (P = 0.001). Variance analysis for trend showed that sICAM-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with active CD and UC, compared to those with inactive disease and controls (P = 0.00002). The concentration of sICAM-1 was higher in CD patients (365 ng/ml 230-470) compared to UC (300 ng/ml 195-855) (P = 0.01). Furthermore, weak but significant correlations were found between serum levels of sICAM-1 and: soluble IL-2 receptors, orosomucoid, and C-reactive protein. It is suggested that increased circulating sICAM-1 levels may reflect increased adhesiveness and signal transmission across cells, probably as a result of shedding of the parent molecule during local cellular immunoresponses in vivo.
