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

Group A streptococci (GAS) produce several exoproteins that are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of human infection. Two such proteins, streptolysin O (SLO) and NAD(+)-glycohydrolase (NADase), have been shown to interact functionally as a compound signaling toxin. When GAS are bound to the surface of epithelial cells in vitro, SLO forms pores in the cell membrane and delivers NADase to the epithelial cell cytoplasm. In vitro, intoxication of keratinocytes with NADase is associated with cytotoxic effects and induction of apoptosis; however, the importance of NADase during infection of an animal host has not been established. We employed isogenic GAS mutants to assess the contribution of NADase activity to GAS virulence in vivo using mouse models of invasive soft-tissue infection and septicemia. In both models, mutant GAS that lacked NADase activity were significantly attenuated for virulence compared with the isogenic wild-type parent, confirming an important role for NADase in the infection of a host animal. A double mutant lacking SLO and NADase activity had an intermediate virulence phenotype, consistent with the hypothesis that SLO evokes a protective innate immune response. We conclude that NADase and SLO together enhance GAS virulence in vivo.
