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

backgroundYersinia outer protein (Yop) H is a secreted virulence factor of Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye), which inhibits phagocytosis of Ye and contributes to the virulence of Ye in mice. The aim of this study was to address whether and how YopH affects the innate immune response to Ye in mice.

resultsFor this purpose, mice were infected with wild type Ye (pYV+) or a YopH-deficient Ye mutant strain (DeltayopH). CD11b+ cells were isolated from the infected spleen and subjected to gene expression analysis using microarrays. Despite the attenuation of DeltayopH in vivo, by variation of infection doses we were able to achieve conditions that allow comparison of gene expression in pYV+ and DeltayopH infection, using either comparable infection courses or splenic bacterial burden. Gene expression analysis provided evidence that expression levels of several immune response genes, including IFN-gamma and IL-6, are high after pYV+ infection but low after sublethal DeltayopH infection. In line with these findings, infection of IFN-gammaR-/- and IL-6-/- mice with pYV+ or DeltayopH revealed that these cytokines are not necessarily required for control of DeltayopH, but are essential for defense against infection with the more virulent pYV+. Consistently, IFN-gamma pretreatment of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) strongly enhanced their ability in killing intracellular Ye bacteria.

conclusionIn conclusion, this data suggests that IFN-gamma-mediated effector mechanisms can partially compensate virulence exerted by YopH. These results shed new light on the protective role of IFN-gamma in Ye wild type infections.
