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

Salmonella meningitis is a serious disease of the central nervous system, common particularly in Africa. Here, we show that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is able to adhere, invade, and penetrate human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hBMECs), the single-cell layer constituting the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Cellular invasion was dependent on host actin cytoskeleton rearrangements, while expression of a functional type III secretion system was not essential. In addition, Salmonella infection activated a proinflammatory immune response targeting neutrophil signaling and recruitment. Salmonella invasion and immune activation may represent a crucial step in the penetration of the BBB and development of Salmonella meningitis.
