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

We examined the effects of trauma on polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) migratory parameters and PMN elastase release, with the aim of tracing an acute inflammatory reaction from its very beginning to the phase of recovery. Fifteen patients who underwent monotrauma surgery, followed by uneventful healing, served as inflammation model. PMN activation was studied by measuring their readiness to migrate (TMI) and their penetration potency (DC) in a whole blood membrane filter device, in which a chemoattractant depot (FMLP) was integrated. Control chambers lacking FMLP provided parameters of the spontaneous migration. In healthy controls (n = 64), the numbers of invading PMNs decreased continuously from the outermost layer towards the interior of the filter device. FMLP did not influence the mobilization rate of PMNs immigrant from the blood into the filter, but those cells that did migrate penetrated deeper (P < 0.05). After trauma, the spontaneous and FMLP-stimulated DC was increased (P < 0.05). Trauma also tended to inhibit PMN migratory activity episodically; depression of the unspecific immune function (low TMI values) was found on the 3rd (P < 0.0001) and 12th (P < 0.01) postsurgical days. There was no correlation between the migratory parameters and the inflammation parameter, PMN elastase release. Preliminary results indicate that analyses of PMN migratory parameters by a whole blood membrane filter assay could provide a valuable adjunct in monitoring trauma-associated immunologic changes.
