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

The anti-inflammatory activity of pertussis toxin (Ptx) was compared to that of a noncatalytic mutant of pertussis toxin (9K/129G; Ptxm), which contains two amino acid substitutions in the A protomer, by using a rat model of inflammation. The toxins were administered intravenously 1 h prior to the injection of inflammatory stimuli. Ptx, but not Ptxm, inhibited neutrophil migration into peritoneal cavities in response to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and lipopolysaccharide. The inhibitory effect of Ptx on neutrophil migration could not be explained by the ability of the toxin to induce leukopenia or neutropenia. The increase in skin vascular permeability induced by leukotriene B4, a powerful neutrophil chemotactic agent, was also inhibited only by Ptx. On the other hand, the increase in skin vascular permeability induced by histamine was potentiated by both toxins. These data show that Ptx inhibits neutrophil-mediated inflammation in vivo and that this effect is dependent on the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the A protomer.
