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

In vitro studies on the pathogenesis in swine have been hampered by the lack of relevant porcine cell lines. Since many bacterial infections are swine-specific, studies on pathogenic mechanisms require appropriate cell lines of porcine origin. We have characterized the permanent porcine intestinal epithelial cell line, IPEC-J2, using a variety of methods in order to assess the usefulness of this cell line as an in vitro infection model. Electron microscopic analyses and histochemical staining revealed the cells to be enterocyte-like with microvilli, tight junctions and glycocalyx-bound mucin. The functional integrity of monolayers was determined by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements. Both commensal bacteria and important bacterial pathogens were chosen for study based on their principally different infection mechanisms: obligate extracellular Escherichia coli, facultative intracellular Salmonella and obligate intracellular Chlamydia. We determined the colonization and proliferation of the bacteria on and within the host cells and monitored the host cell response. We verified the expression of mRNAs encoding the cytokines IL-1alpha, -6, -7, -8, -18, TNF-alpha and GM-CSF, but not TGF-beta or MCP-1. IL-8 protein expression was enhanced by Salmonella invasion. We conclude that the IPEC-J2 cell line provides a relevant in vitro model system for porcine intestinal pathogen-host cell interactions.
