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

Advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) have greatly benefited from the use of human epithelial cell lines under aerobic conditions. However, in the target site of EHEC infection, the human intestine, conditions are microaerobic. In our study we used polarized human colon carcinoma cells in a vertical diffusion chamber system to investigate the influence of reduced apical oxygen levels on EHEC colonization. While apical microaerobiosis did not affect cell integrity and barrier function, numbers of adherent bacteria were significantly increased under low compared with high apical oxygen concentrations. In addition, expression and translocation of EHEC type III secreted (T3S) effector proteins was considerably enhanced under microaerobic conditions and dependent on the presence of host cells. Increased colonization was mainly mediated via EspA as adherence levels of an isogenic deletion mutant were not influenced by low oxygen levels. Other potential adherence factors (E. coli common pilus and flagella) were only minimally expressed under high and low oxygen levels. Addition of nitrate and trimethylamine N-oxide as terminal electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration failed to further increase bacterial colonization or T3S under microaerobiosis. This study indicates that EHEC T3S and colonization are enhanced by the microaerobic environment in the gut and therefore might be underestimated in conventional aerobic cell culture systems.
