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

aimTo investigate the specific pathogenesis of O-polysaccharide (O-PS) which is on the outer membrane of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Shigella flexneri.

methodsThe O-PS was isolated and purified from Shigella flexneri 5 M90T by enzymatic hydrolysis and gel chromatography. Effects of O-PS were observed by in vitro experiment, (HeLa cell culture), and in vivo experiment (rabbit ileal loop assay).

resultsIn vitro and in vivo experiments with the purified O-PS from Shigella flexneri revealed that the O-PS alone was toxic to Hela cells and caused mucosal inflammation and hemorrhagic exudation in ileal loop of rabbit.DISCUSSION:O-PS might be one of the factors causing diarrhea and its mechanism was different from endotoxin reaction of LPS.The molecular mechanism of O-PS need further studies.
