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 results show that Listeria monocytogenes, Francisella tularensis, and Salmonella typhimurium are facultative intracellular bacteria with a capacity to invade and grow in nonphagocytic cells in vivo. In the liver, all of these pathogens were seen to invade and to multiply extensively in hepatocytes. In all three cases, inflammatory phagocytes were rapidly marshalled to foci of infection where they appeared to cause the destruction of infected hepatocytes, thereby releasing bacteria into the extracellular space, in which presumably they could be ingested and destroyed by the phagocytes. If phagocytic cells were prevented from accumulating at foci of liver infection by treatment of the mice with a monoclonal antibody (NIMP-R10) directed against the type 3 complement receptor of myelomonocytic cells, then lysis of hepatocytes failed to occur and bacteria proliferated unrestrictedly within them. Under these circumstances, otherwise sublethal infections became rapidly lethal. These findings strongly suggest that lysis of infected hepatocytes by phagocytic cells is an important general early-defense strategy against liver infection with at least three different intracellular bacteria.
