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

The phenomenon of swarming has long been observed in nature as a strategic event that serves as a good offense toward prey and predators. Imaging studies have uncovered that neutrophils employ this swarm-like tactic within infected and inflamed tissues as part of the innate immune response. Much of our understanding of neutrophil swarming builds from observations during sterile inflammation and various bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections of the skin. However, the architecture and function of the skin differ significantly from vital organs where highly specialized microenvironments carry out critical functions. Therefore, the detrimental extent this perturbation may have on organ function remains unclear. In this review, we examine organ-specific swarming within the skin, liver, and lungs, with a detailed focus on swarming within microvascular environments. In addition, we examine potential "swarmulants" that initiate both transient and persistent swarms that have been implicated in disease.
