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.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus superantigens (SAgs) are highly potent T cell mitogens. Antibodies against non-enterotoxin gene cluster (non-egc) SAgs are common in healthy adults, whereas neutralizing antibodies against egc SAgs are rare. We investigated the infecting S. aureus strains and the anti-SAg antibody response during S. aureus bacteremia (SAB). This prospective clinical study (www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00548002) included 43 injection drug users (IDUs) and 44 group-matched nonaddicts with SAB. spa genotypes and SAg gene patterns (multiplex PCR) of the S. aureus isolates were determined. The neutralizing capacities of sera obtained at the acute phase and the convalescent phase of SAB were tested against the SAg cocktail of the respective infecting strain and a panel of recombinant SAgs. The lineages CC59 and CC30 were more prevalent among bacteremia strains from IDUs than among strains from nonaddicts. SAg gene patterns in isolates from IDUs and nonaddicts were similar. At the acute phase of bacteremia, IDUs had more neutralizing antibodies against non-egc SAgs than did nonaddicts. Antibody titers frequently increased during infection. In contrast, there were no neutralizing antibodies against egc SAgs at disease onset and such antibodies were not induced by SAB. SAB triggers an antibody response only against non-egc SAgs. Preimmunization in IDU patients is probably due to previous exposure to the infecting strain.
