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

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis employs a type III secretion system for targeting of several virulence factors directly to the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. This protein translocation mechanism mediates the ability of Yersinia to resist phagocytosis and is required for sustained extracellular bacterial replication. In the present study, the Yersinia outer protein E (YopE) was used as a carrier molecule for type III-dependent secretion and translocation of listeriolysin O (LLO) from Listeria monocytogenes. In comparison to wild-type Yersinia, an attenuated Y. pseudotuberculosis yopK-null mutant strain hypertranslocates chimeric YopE/LLO into the cytosol of macrophages, resulting in enhanced major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted antigen presentation of an LLO-derived CD8 T-cell epitope. Remarkably, T-cell activation assays also revealed a superior ability of translocated over secreted LLO to induce MHC class II-restricted antigen presentation. These in vitro observations were confirmed after immunization of mice with a single dose of the yopK-null mutant strain. Animals orally inoculated with recombinant Yersinia expressing translocated chimeric YopE/LLO revealed high numbers of gamma interferon-producing LLO-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells. For the first time, it is shown that cytosolic antigen display mediated by an extracellular bacterial carrier vaccine results in simultaneous CD4 and CD8 T-cell priming, conferring protection against an intracellular pathogen.
