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

The complex molecular events that occur within the host during the establishment of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection are poorly defined, thus preventing identification of predictive markers of disease progression and state. To identify such molecular markers during M. tuberculosis infection, global changes in transcriptional response in the host were assessed using mouse whole genome arrays. Bacterial load in the lungs, the lesions associated with infection, and gene expression profiling was performed by comparing normal lung tissue to lungs from mice collected at 20, 40, and 100 days after aerosol infection with the H37Rv strain of M. tuberculosis. Quantitative, whole lung gene expression identified signature profiles defining different signaling pathways and immunological responses characteristic of disease progression. This includes genes representing members of the interferon-associated gene families, chemokines and cytokines, MHC, and NOS2, as well as an array of cell surface markers associated with the activation of T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells that participate in immunity to M. tuberculosis infection. More importantly, several gene transcripts encoding proteins that were not previously associated with the host response to M. tuberculosis infection, and unique molecular markers associated with disease progression and state, were identified.
