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 our study we investigated the effect of rifamycin SV, rifamycin B, rifampicin and five semisynthetic derivatives on human neutrophil functions such as locomotion, superoxide production and degranulation stimulated by specific agonists. All compounds were tested at concentrations ranging from 10(-9) to 10(-5) M. Among the newly synthesized compounds the most active we found to be the derivatives carrying an acidic substituent at C3: these significantly lowered the superoxide generation induced by PMA throughout the entire concentration range, whereas rifamycin SV, rifamycin B and rifampicin were effective only at the highest concentrations. Moreover, chemotactic movement was significantly attenuated by derivative R4, rifamycin B and rifamycin SV at high doses; granule enzyme release was unaffected by all compounds.
