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

In order to explore the influence of activated macrophages on tumor cells, we cultured a series of weakly metastatic clones isolated from the murine T3 fibrosarcoma line (T3 clones) and the B16-F10 melanoma cells on feeder layers of C. parvum- or thioglycollate-elicited macrophages, or 'resident' (unstimulated) macrophages. Co-cultivation with C. parvum-elicited macrophages, but not with resident macrophages, induced an increase of the lung-colonizing potential of T3 clones and B16-F10 cells. An enhancement of lung-colonizing potential was also found in tumor cells grown in media conditioned by C. parvum-elicited macrophages. Thioglycollate-elicited macrophages also generated a pro-clonogenic activity which was however effective only on T3 clones but not on B16-F10 cells. The increase in the lung-colonizing potential of tumor cells stimulated by activated macrophages was retained to some degree after subcultivation in tissue culture medium or transplantation into syngeneic animals. In conclusion, our data support the notion that macrophages at different states of activation may enhance lung colonization of tumor cells by inducing a partially stable change of phenotype.
