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

Loss of the actin filament capping protein CapG has no apparent effect on the phenotype of mice maintained under sterile conditions; however, bone marrow-derived macrophages from CapG(-/-) mice exhibited distinct motility defects. We examined the ability of CapG(-/-) mice to clear two intracellular bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The 50% lethal dose of Listeria was 10-fold lower for CapG(-/-) mice than for CapG(+/+) mice (6 x 10(3) CFU for CapG(-/-) mice and 6 x 10(4) CFU for CapG(+/+) mice), while no difference was observed for Salmonella: The numbers of Listeria cells in the spleens and livers were significantly higher in CapG(-/-) mice than in CapG(+/+) mice at days 5 to 9, while the bacterial counts were identical on day 5 for Salmonella-infected mice. Microscopic analysis revealed qualitatively similar inflammatory responses in the spleens and livers of the two types of mice. Specific immunofluorescence staining analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting revealed similar numbers of macrophages and dendritic cells in infected CapG(-/-) and CapG(+/+) spleens. However, analysis of bone marrow-derived macrophages revealed a 50% reduction in the rate of phagocytosis of Listeria in CapG(-/-) cells but a normal rate of phagocytosis of Salmonella: Stimulation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor resulted in a reduction in the ruffling response of CapG(-/-) cells compared to the response of CapG(+/+) cells, and CapG(-/-) bone-marrowed derived neutrophils migrated at a mean speed that was nearly 50% lower than the mean speed of CapG(+/+) neutrophils. Our findings suggest that specific motility deficits in macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils render CapG(-/-) mice more susceptible than CapG(+/+) mice to Listeria infection.
