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

Shiga toxins (Stx) released by Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Shigella dysentriae cause life-threatening conditions that include hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), kidney failure, and neurological complications. Cellular entry is mediated by the B-subunit of the AB(5) toxin, which recognizes cell surface glycolipids present in lipid raft-like structures. We developed gold glyconanoparticles that present a multivalent display similar to the cell surface glycolipids to compete for these toxins. These highly soluble glyconanoparticles were nontoxic to the Vero monkey kidney cell line and protected Vero cells from Stx-mediated toxicity in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibition is highly dependent on the structure and density of the glycans; selective inhibition of Stx1 and the more clinically relevant Stx2 was achieved. Interestingly, natural variants of Stx2, Stx2c, and Stx2d possessing minimal amino acid variation in the receptor binding site of the B-subunit or changes in the A-subunit were not neutralized by either the Stx1- or Stx2-specific gold glyconanoparticles. Our results suggest that tailored glyconanoparticles that mimic the natural display of glycans in lipid rafts could serve as potential therapeutics for Stx1 and Stx2. However, a few amino acid changes in emerging Stx2 variants can change receptor specificity, and further research is needed to develop receptor mimics for the emerging variants of Stx2.
