The role of tumor necrosis factor receptors in cell signaling and the significance of soluble form levels in the serum.
Review in Surgery today, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Two types of tumor necrosis factor membrane receptors (TNF-R) have been identified, namely 55 and 75 kDa TNF-R. Soluble forms of these receptors are present in the human serum. Recent findings on the role of these two TNF-R in biological cell signaling and the clinical significance of the serum levels of soluble TNF-R (sTNF-R) were reviewed. It is not the uptake of TNF molecules into cells but rather the molecular capping of TNF-R on the cell membrane that initiates the biological activity of TNF. The 55 kDa TNF-R mediates major bioactivities of TNF, while the significance of 75 kDa TNF-R remains unclear. We herein suggest a new concept of the role of these two TNF-R: The 75 kDa TNF-R signal appeared to enhance that of 55 kDa TNF-R in the induction of ICAM-1 expression on HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemic cells. High serum levels of sTNF-R are reported in patients with malignancy, endotoxin shock, pneumonia, and autoimmune diseases. However, the source of elevated serum sTNF-R remains unclear. Studies on the clinical usefulness of serum sTNF-R levels as cancer and inflammation markers are now being carried out.
