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

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a facultative intracellular gram-negative bacterium that can survive and multiply inside macrophages. One of the mechanisms by which B. pseudomallei escapes macrophage killing is by interfering with the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). However, the bacterial components that modulate antimicrobial activity of the macrophage have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrated that B. pseudomallei strain SRM117, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mutant that lacks the O-antigenic polysaccharide moiety, was more susceptible to macrophage killing during the early phase of infection than the parental wild-type strain (1026b). Unlike the wild type, the LPS mutant could readily stimulate Y701-STAT-1 phosphorylation (pY701-STAT-1) and interferon-regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) expression, both of which are essential transcription factors of iNOS. Neutralizing antibody against beta interferon was able to inhibit the phosphorylation of Y701-STAT-1 and the expression of IRF-1 and iNOS, all of which resulted in an increased rate of intracellular replication. These data suggest that the O-antigenic polysaccharide moiety of B. pseudomallei modulates the host cell response, which in turn controls the intracellular fate of B. pseudomallei inside macrophages.
