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

Interleukin-10 (IL-10)-deficient mice are resistant to several pathogens, including Yersinia pestis. Surprisingly, we observed that heterozygous IL-10(+/-) mice also survive high-dose intravenous infection with Y. pestis KIM5 (Pgm(-)). Analysis of commercial IL-10(-/-) mice revealed that at least 30 cM of genomic DNA from the original 129 strain remains, including a functional Slc11a1 (Nramp1) gene. Interestingly, two substrains of 129 mice were resistant to high-dose Y. pestis KIM5. Resistance does not appear to be recessive, as F(1) mice (C57BL/6J x 129) also survived a high-dose challenge. A QTL-based genetic scan of chromosome 1 with 35 infected F(1) backcrossed mice revealed that resistance to KIM5 maps to a region near IL-10. Two novel IL-10(+/+) mouse strains which each possess most of the original 30-cM stretch of 129 DNA maintained resistance to high-dose infection with Y. pestis KIM5 even in a heterozygous state. Conversely, a novel IL-10(-/-) mouse strain in which most of the 129 DNA has been crossed out exhibited intermediate resistance to KIM5, while the corresponding IL-10(+/-) strain was completely susceptible. Taken together, these results demonstrate that 129-derived genomic DNA near IL-10 confers resistance to Yersinia pestis KIM5 and contributes to the observed resistance of IL-10(-/-) mice.
