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 serum IL-6 and TNF alpha response to cardiopulmonary bypass surgery was studied in 12 patients. Human neutrophil elastase was also measured in order to detect the presence of neutrophil activation. Peripheral venous blood samples were obtained before, during, and 1, 2, 3 and 6 days after surgery. Intra-operative samples were also obtained from the coronary sinus and pulmonary artery. Cardiopulmonary bypass stimulated the immediate release of IL-6 into the coronary, pulmonary and systemic circulations. TNF alpha was transiently detected in the pulmonary circulation in seven patients. Surgery also induced early and sustained activation of neutrophils, which peaked 24 h following maximum IL-6 release. Both IL-6 and TNF alpha not only enhance neutrophil activation, but also stimulate an adhesive neutrophil-cardiac myocyte interaction which is associated with the release of toxic oxygen radicals. Their detection, in association with concomitant neutrophil activation, suggests a possible pathway for enhanced neutrophil mediated myocardial damage following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
