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

Bacterial pathogens use horizontal gene transfer to acquire virulence factors that influence host colonization, alter virulence traits, and ultimately shape the outcome of disease following infection. One hallmark of the host-pathogen interaction is the prokaryotic type III secretion system that translocates virulence factors into host cells during infection. Salmonella enterica possesses two type III secretion systems that are utilized during host colonization and intracellular replication. Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) is a genomic island containing approximately 30 contiguous genes required to assemble a functional secretion system including the two-component regulatory system called SsrA-SsrB that positively regulates transcription of the secretion apparatus. We used transcriptional profiling with DNA microarrays to search for genes that coregulate with the SPI2 type III secretion machinery in an SsrB-dependent manner. Here we report the identification of a Salmonella-specific translocated effector called SseL that is required for full virulence during murine typhoid-like disease. Analysis of infected macrophages using fluorescence-activated cell sorting revealed that sseL is induced inside cells and requires SsrB for expression. SseL is retained predominantly in the cytoplasm of infected cells following translocation by the type III system encoded in SPI2. Animal infection experiments with sseL mutant bacteria indicate that integration of SseL into the SsrB response regulatory system contributes to systemic virulence of this pathogen.
