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

After stimulation with Salmonella typhimurium endotoxin, the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was studied on the corneal endothelium and associated leukocytes in rats using immunoscanning electron microscopy. Two hundred micrograms of the endotoxin was injected in Lewis rats. The corneae were excised at 0-h and 16-h-postinjection time (n = 5, respectively). The corneae were prepared in hypothermic University of Wisconsin (UW) solution for immunoscanning electron microscopy. Histotopographical examination visualized ICAM-1 antigen on cytoplasmic processes of the corneal endothelium, arranged along microfolds, especially at the peaks. In the leukocytes, ICAM-1 was located primarily in morphologically non-specialized domains of the cell body surface, and only rarely scattered on the surface of microvillar projections. We concluded that the endotoxin stimulation can increase ICAM-1 in both corneal endothelium and associated leukocytes. Increased ICAM-1 may be an important factor for the leukocytes to form clustering and adhering to the corneal endothelium.
