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

During the development of Escherichia coli K1 meningitis, interaction between E. coli invasion protein IbeA and surface protein(s) on human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) is required for invasion and IbeA-mediated signaling. Here, an IbeA-binding protein was identified as polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB)-associated splicing factor (PSF). The specific binding was confirmed by ligand overlay assay. The cell surface-expressed PSF was verified by the confocal microscopy. Recombinant PSF blocked E. coli K1 invasion of HBMEC effectively. Overexpression of PSF in the lentivirus-transducted HBMEC significantly enhanced E. coli K1 invasion. These results suggest that IbeA interacts with PSF for the E. coli K1 invasion of HBMEC.
