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

Interactions of Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria, and Aeromonas hydrophila strains isolated from fecal specimens of humans with gastroenteritis on murine macrophages, J774 cells, were investigated. Analyses of cellular morphology and DNA fragmentation in phagocytes infected with these strains exhibited typical characteristic features of cells undergoing apoptosis. We observed the morphological changes, including condensation of nuclear chromatin, formation of apoptotic bodies and blebbing of cell membrane, and fragmentation of nuclear DNA into oligonucleosomal fragments. The lowest apoptotic index did not exceed 25%, whereas the highest reached 78% at 24 h and 96% at 48 h after infection. After incubation of J774 cells with cytotoxic enterotoxin isolated from A. veronii biotype sobria strain, we noted that the toxin was able to trigger cytotoxicity and apoptosis of macrophages. The results indicate that apoptosis could be one of the mechanisms contributing to the development of Aeromonas-associated diarrheal disease.
