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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the main pathogen in the airways of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF), binds to carbohydrate chains of respiratory mucins. Using flow cytometry and polyacrylamide based fluorescent glycoconjugates, it was previously demonstrated that several strains of P. aeruginosa recognize a set of neutral and acidic carbohydrate epitopes found at the periphery of respiratory mucins, especially sialyl-Le(x). This structure, overexpressed in mucins from CF patients, could be responsible in part for the persistence of lung infection in CF patients. The aim of the present work was to determine whether a glycoconjugate bearing the 6-sulfo-sialyl-Le(x) epitope, also found in abundance in CF airway mucins, is also preferentially recognised by different strains of P. aeruginosa. The study was conducted with a nonpiliated strain 1244-NP and four mucoid strains isolated from CF patients. For four strains out of five, the affinity for 6-sulfo-sialyl-Le(x) was as high as for sialyl-Le(x) derivative. These results were confirmed for strain 1244-NP by a microtiter plate assay.
