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

Shiga toxins (Stx) are some of the major virulence factors of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains such as serotype O157:H7. To explore how Stx might initially gain access to the bloodstream from sites of infection, frozen sections of mouse colon were immunohistochemically examined for binding sites for recombinant binding subunits (Stx1B). Binding sites were selectively expressed on the epithelium in the distal half of the mouse colon, whereas the proximal half did not exhibit any binding sites. In agreement with this observation, we also demonstrated the distal-part-restricted distribution of glycolipids that bind to Stx1B in the mouse colon. For comparison, the binding sites of several control lectins were also examined. Selective binding to the distal part of the colon was not seen with any other control lectins, including Griffonia simplicifolia lectin-I isolectin B4 (GS-I-B4), which shares alpha-galactose specificity with Stx1B. Partial overlapping of the specificities of Stx1B and GS-I-B4 was seen by assay with globotriose-conjugated multivalent ligands. The results indicate that Stx1B is stricter in the recognition of carbohydrate determinants than GS-I-B4 when examined with biological ligands.
