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

Gram negative sepsis and septic shock continue to be a major medical problem, with a complex physiopathology and it is associated with high mortality. Although secretion of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha by macrophages is the principal host mediator of septic shock, other characteristic functions of macrophages implicated in their phagocytic capacity have not been studied in the process of endotoxic shock. In the present study we have used an intraperitoneal injection of E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (100 mg/kg) in order to obtain an endotoxic shock model in adult female BALB/c mice. Peritoneal cell suspensions were obtained at several times (2, 4, 12 or 24 h) after injection and the following functions were studied on the peritoneal macrophages: adherence to substrate, mobility (spontaneous and directed or chemotaxis), ingestion of particles and superoxide anion production. The results showed a stimulation of adherence, ingestion and superoxide production as well as a decrease of chemotaxis in the animals injected with LPS. These effects changed with time after LPS injection. Thus, the increase of adherence and the decrease of mobility were higher during the first hours, whereas the increase in ingestion and superoxide production turned larger with time.
