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

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative bacterium of significant clinical importance. This study examines the differential pulmonary host anti-bacterial responses towards two clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae. Intratracheal inoculation with 7 x 10(4)CFU of strain 43816 induced 100% mortality in C57BL/6J mice within 5 days post infection, whereas infection with 5 x 10(5)CFU of strain IA565 resulted in 100% survival. Infection with strain 43816 resulted in significant pulmonary and peripheral blood bacterial burden and induction of the chemokines MIP-2, KC and MCP-1 by 24h post infection. In contrast, IA565-infected mice displayed basal chemokine levels and no detectable bacteria by 24h post inoculation were isolated from lungs or peripheral blood. These data indicate an apparent lack of pathogenicity of strain IA565. Since little is known about Klebsiella-specific virulence genes, we have utilized PCR-based genomic DNA and cDNA suppressive subtractive hybridization and identified nine DNA sequences unique to the pathogenic strain of K. pneumoniae 43816. These sequences were highly homologous to enteric bacterial genes regulating iron uptake, fimbrial-mediated adhesion, energy production and conversion, transcriptional regulation, signal transduction, restriction endonuclease activity, and membrane transport.
