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

Human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes (PMNL) prestimulated with the formylated tripeptide f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) were activated to an immediate chemiluminescence (CL) response by polyclonal rabbit antibodies against human lactoferrin (Lf). This activation, indicating the formation of reactive oxygen species, was induced by intact IgG antibodies but could not be brought about by F(ab')2 fragments. Human Lf was also shown to adhere to the surface of cultured bovine aorta endothelial cells (BEC). When Lf-coated BEC grown on microcarrier beads were reacted with anti-Lf antibodies, an immediate CL response was achieved also with nonprimed PMNL. Here, too, the reaction required intact IgG antibodies. Also, patient sera containing anti-Lf autoantibodies of IgG class were shown to activate fMLP-treated PMNL. The same effect was obtained (in a dose-dependent manner) with the gammaglobulin fraction from anti-Lf-positive serum. Further, anti-Lf-antibody-positive patient sera incubated with Lf-coated BEC beads were also able to activate non-stimulated PMNL to a chemiluminescence response. The results are discussed in relation to possible mechanisms of cell/tissue damage induced by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA).
