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 Gram-negative bacteria, Salmonella, cause a broad spectrum of clinical diseases in both animals and humans ranging from asymptomatic carriage to life-threatening sepsis. We have developed a model to study the contribution of genetic factors to the susceptibility of 129sv and C57BL/6J inbred mice to Salmonella enteritidis during the late phase of infection. C57BL/6J mice were able to eliminate completely sublethal inoculums of S. enteritidis from their reticuloendothelial system, whereas 129sv mice could not even after 60 days post inoculation. A genome scan performed on 302 (C57BL/6J x 129sv) F2 progeny identified three dominant loci (designated Ses1 to Ses3) that are associated with disease susceptibility in 129sv mice. Two highly significant linkages were identified on chromosomes 1 (Ses1) and 7 (Ses2) with respective LOD scores of 9.9 (P = 1.4 x 10(-11)) at D1Mcg5 and 4.0 (P = 1.9 x 10(-5)) at D7Mit62. One highly suggestive QTL was located on chromosomes15 (Ses3) with a LOD score 3.4 (P = 1.2 x 10(-4)). The estimated effects of Ses1, Ses2 and Ses3 on the bacterial clearance were greater in females. Using a model of three loci, with interaction between Ses1 and Ses2 and sex as a covariate, the three QTLs explained 32% of the phenotypic variance. The candidacy of Nramp1 as the gene for Ses1 was evaluated using mice carrying a null allele at Nramp1 (129sv-Nramp1(tm1Mcg)). These mice have a significantly lower spleen bacterial load compared to the wild-type 129sv mice, strongly suggesting the involvement of Nramp1 in controlling S. enteritidis clearance during the late phase of infection.
