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

The in vivo effects of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the immune systems of piglets were investigated. Intravenous injection of 0.5 mg of LPS per kilogram of body weight induced apoptosis, which was characterized by nuclear chromatin condensation and fragmentation and a ladder formation of nucleosomal DNA in lymphocytes both in the cortex of the thymus and in the germinal centers and paracortical areas of mesenteric lymph nodes at 24 h postinjection. The levels of endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and cortisol in serum increased, generally according to the dose of LPS. These findings suggest that LPS can induce in vivo apoptosis of lymphocytes in piglets and support the notion that cytokine and endocrine responses may play an important role in LPS-induced apoptosis in the immune system.
