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 aims of this study were to assess the role played by alveolar macrophages, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) in pulmonary immunity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in animals that have been immunized via the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. Following intra-Peyer's patch immunization and subsequent intratracheal challenge with live bacteria, significantly enhanced bacterial clearance from the lungs correlated with an increase in bronchoalveolar neutrophils, increased recruitment and phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages, and accelerated production of TNF-alpha in the bronchoalveolar space, while levels of IL-1 alpha remained low. Administration of recombinant TNF-alpha in physiological concentrations did not affect the proliferation of P. aeruginosa in vitro, but when given intratracheally to rats at the time of infection, recombinant TNF-alpha significantly increased bacterial clearance from the lungs. In these animals, phagocytic activity of bronchoalveolar neutrophils was enhanced, while the recruitment of alveolar macrophages and neutrophils remained unchanged. In acutely infected nonimmune animals, bronchoalveolar concentrations of soluble IL-1 alpha and TNF-alpha increased until the time of death. Levels of prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2 were similar in each experimental group. These results indicate that infection in immune animals enhanced both recruitment and phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages as well as induced an accelerated production of TNF-alpha. In immune challenged animals, this cytokine enhanced the phagocytic activity of neutrophils and improved bacterial clearance from the lung. Levels of soluble IL-1 alpha and TNF-alpha in nonimmune rats increased consistently following infection until the time of death, thus implicating these cytokines in the pathogenesis of acute P. aeruginosa pneumonia.
