Peritoneal lavage reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced elevation of serum TNF-alpha and IL-6 mortality in mice.
Article in Inflammation, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 contribution of peritoneal cells to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced elevation of serum TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels and mortality has been studied. Peritoneal lavage performed before LPS administration reduced serum cytokine levels by approximately 50% and mortality from 50 to 100%. The effect of peritoneal lavage is due to the removal of peritoneal cells as reinjection of peritoneal cells eliminated the protective effect of lavage on LPS-induced mortality. A special role of peritoneal macrophages in the systemic response to LPS was suggested by the finding that LPS-induced an increase in intracellular TNF-alpha and IL-6 peritoneal macrophages but in neither splenic nor bone marrow macrophages. Intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate broth 4 days prior to lavage increased the number of peritoneal cells removed by lavage and increased protection from LPS mortality. Peritoneal lavage performed 30 to 120 minutes after the LPS administration completely protected all mice from LPS-induced mortality, suggesting the possibility that such treatment may offer a novel therapeutic approach to septic shock.
