Alterations in cytokines and effects of dexamethasone immunosuppression during subclinical infections of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae with hypermucoviscosity phenotype in rhesus (Macaca mulatta) and cynomolgus (Macaca fascicularis) macaques.
Article in Comparative medicine, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae with the hypermucoviscosity phenotype (HMV K. pneumoniae) is an emerging human pathogen that also has been attributed to fatal multisystemic disease in African green monkeys at our institution. Combining a cluster of subclinically infected macaques identified in March and April 2008 and the animals documented during a subsequent survey of more than 300 colony nonhuman primates yielded a total of 9 rhesus macaques and 6 cynomolgus macaques that were subclinically infected. In an attempt to propagate the responsible HMV K. pneumoniae strain, a subset of these animals was immunosuppressed with dexamethasone. None of the treated animals developed clinical disease consistent with the multisystemic disease that affected colony African green monkeys. However, cytokine analysis revealed significant alterations of secreted cytokines in macaques subclinically infected with HMV K. pneumoniae when compared with noninfected macaques, thereby calling into question the suitability of animals subclinically infected with HMV K. pneumoniae for use in immunologic or infectious disease research.
