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

A procedure was developed to culture rainbow trout macrophages (M phi) on supported glass coverslips. Using this method and a variety of well-characterized Aeromonas salmonicida strains with normal or altered cell surfaces, we investigated the role of this unusual bacterial surface in the bacterium-M phi interaction. An intact crystalline protein array, the A-layer, mediated adherence of A. salmonicida cells to M phi even in the absence of opsonins. In contrast, unopsonized cells of an A-layer-negative (A-) mutant with a smooth lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layer were unable to interact with M phi. However, this ability was recovered when the A-layer was reconstituted onto the smooth LPS surface of these A- LPS+ cells. Two A. salmonicida mutants possessing the A-layer in different disorganized states had a reduced ability to interact with M phi. A+ cells grown under calcium limitation produced A-layers locked into an alternative conformation which mediated the highest levels of M phi association in the absence of opsonins or any other surface coating. Coating A+ cells with hemin greatly increased their levels of M phi association, and bacterial cells grown on trout blood agar plates also had a dramatic increase in their ability to interact with M phi. Only A+ A. salmonicida cells were highly cytotoxic to trout M phi, especially after being coated with hemin, presumably due to a more focused targeting of the bacterial cell onto the M phi surface and/or into the intracellular regions of the M phi.
