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

Infections caused by Mycobacterium avium, the most common form of diseminated bacterial disease in AIDS patients, are difficult to treat because of their resistance to many antimycobacterial drugs. The results of the present study show that recombinant migration inhibitory factor, a 12-kDa molecule recently isolated by COS-1 cell expression screening of cDNA from a human T-cell hybridoma, has potent inhibitory activity on the growth of a panel of clinical isolates of M. avium within both bone-marrow-derived murine macrophages and cultured human blood monocytes. These cells cultured in recombinant migration inhibitory factor exhibit various signs of activation, including cell division, morphological changes such as evidence of substantial phagolysosomal fusion, and enhanced secretion of tumor necrosis factor.
