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

Listeriolysin O (LLO), a cholesterol-binding cytolysin of Listeria monocytogenes, exhibits cytokine-inducing and cytolytic activities. Because the cytolytic activity was abolished by cholesterol treatment but the cytokine-inducing activity was not, these activities appeared to be linked to different domains of the LLO molecule. In this study, we constructed recombinant full-length LLO (rLLO529) and various truncated derivatives and examined their cytolytic, cholesterol-binding, and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-inducing activities. rLLO529 exhibited both IFN-gamma-inducing and cytolytic activities. Four truncated rLLOs possessing different C termini, which did not exert either cytolytic or cholesterol-binding activity, stimulated IFN-gamma production in normal spleen cells. However, a truncated rLLO corresponding to domain 4 (rLLO416-529) did not exhibit IFN-gamma-inducing activity, whereas it did bind to immobilized cholesterol. In addition, though the hemolysis induced by rLLO529 was inhibited by rLLO416-529, such inhibition was not detected upon rLLO529-induced IFN-gamma production. These data indicated that domain 4 was responsible for binding of LLO to membrane cholesterol followed by oligomerization and pore formation by the entire LLO molecule. In contrast, the other part of LLO, corresponding to domain 1-3, was essential for IFN-gamma-inducing activity. These findings implied a novel aspect of the function of LLO as a bacterial modulin.
