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 virulence of different pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) types of Listeria monocytogenes was examined by monitoring their ability to invade Caco-2 cells. Strains belonging to seven different PFGE types originating from both foods and humans were included. No significant differences in invasiveness were detected between strains isolated from humans and those isolated from food. Strains belonging to PFGE type 1 expressed a significantly lower ability to invade cells compared to strains belonging to other PFGE types. Although strains of PFGE type 2 also seemed to invade at a low level, this was not significant in the present study. PFGE types 1 and 2 as well as type 14 are more frequently found in food than the four other PFGE types examined and moreover have a relatively low prevalence in humans compared to their prevalence in food. Thus, the hypothesis that some PFGE types are less virulent than others is supported by this study showing that certain PFGE types of L. monocytogenes commonly found in food are less invasive than others to Caco-2 cells. In contrast to the differences in invasion, identical intracellular growth rates between the different PFGE types were observed. In vivo studies of the actual ability of the strains to invade the liver and spleen of cimetidine-treated rats following an oral dose of 10(9) L. monocytogenes cells were performed for isolates of PFGE types 1, 2, 5, and 15. After 2 days, equal amounts of bacteria were observed in the liver and spleen of the rats for any of the PFGE types tested.
