The direct effect of interferon-gamma on human eosinophilic leukemia cell lines: the induction of interleukin-5 mRNA and the presence of an interferon-gamma receptor.

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
The EoL-1 and EoL-3, human eosinophilic leukemia cell lines, have been used as models for studying the maturation and the function of human eosinophils. We investigated the effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on superoxide anion (O2-) production of these cell lines and interleukin-5 (IL-5) mRNA expression in the EoL-1. O2- was measured by chemiluminescence of MCLA, one of cypridina luciferin analogs. The O2- production of fMLP-stimulated EoL-1 and EoL-3 was increased by the IFN-gamma treatment. IL-5 mRNA expression was detected in the IFN-gamma-treated EoL-1 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Further, we examined IFN-gamma receptor 1 mRNA expression in these cell lines and peripheral blood eosinophils by means of northern blot hybridization. IFN-gamma receptor 1 mRNA was detected in the EoL-3 and the IFN-gamma-treated EoL-1. A weak expression of IFN-gamma receptor 1 mRNA was detected in peripheral blood eosinophils isolated from a patient with eosinophilia. These results suggest that IFN-gamma may act on eosinophils directly through its receptor.
