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

Rickettsiae of the spotted fever group are obligately intracellular bacteria that primarily infect the vascular endothelium, invade adjacent cells propelled by actin polymerization, and cause severe systemic diseases. Endothelial dysfunction and vascular leakage develop as a consequence; this effect is the pathophysiological mechanism that explains most clinical manifestations. Here we report that rickettsial infection of cultured primary human endothelial cells is associated with the formation of gaps in the interendothelial adherens junctions, occurring late during the course of in vitro infections but not early, even when rickettsial loads are significant.
