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 isolate and enrich bone marrow mononuclear phagocytes, we performed magnetic-activated cell sorting using beads coupled to a monoclonal antibody directed against the monocyte/macrophage surface molecule CD14. Colocalization of antigens in single cells was achieved by combining an alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase and an avidin-biotin complex immunoassay, avoiding the use of peroxidase. Bone marrow macrophages were first labelled by the monoclonal antibody PG-M1 (anti-CD68). Subsequently, cytoplasmic and/or surface double staining by the monoclonal antibodies against HLA-DR and Mac-2 antigen or the lectin GSA-I-B4 was carried out. Whereas HLA-DR was co-expressed by the great majority of PG-M1+ macrophages (84.9%+/-6.9%), only a subpopulation exhibited Mac-2 (69.9%+/-5.9%) antigen or galactoside structures detected by GSA-I-B4 (65.0%+/-6.7%). The latter result differed only slightly from the percentage of GSA-I-B4+ macrophages determined in a previous comparative immunomorphometrical study. Therefore, using our method of isolation and enrichment by magnetic-activated cell sorting, only a negligible portion of macrophages is apparently stimulated, as shown by GSA-I-B4 staining. This methodology seems to be a valuable tool for further studies on the monocyte-macrophage system.
