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

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, mainly caused by handling and consumption of contaminated poultry. However, the immune response to infection is poorly understood. Here, the impact of the C. jejuni capsule, flagella and the N-linked glycosylation system on cytokine production by dendritic cells was investigated. Bone marrow-derived murine dendritic cells (BMDCs) infected with C. jejuni lacking the N-linked glycosylation system produced similar amounts of cytokines compared to cells infected with C. jejuni 11168H wild-type (WT) cultures. C. jejuni flagellin FlaA mutants elicited reduced IL-6 and IL-10 production in BMDCs compared to C. jejuni WT and this reduction was more pronounced in TLR4(-/-) BMDCs. An acapsular C. jejuni mutant as well as a mutant lacking the O-methyl phosphoramidate modification of the capsule elicited a higher cytokine response in BMDCs. Experiments with TLR4(-/-) BMDCs revealed that this increased cytokine production was not solely dependent on signalling through TLR4. Therefore, the C. jejuni capsule is important to prevent excessive cytokine production by BMDCs and even minor changes in capsule composition such as the lack of the O-methyl phosphoramidate modification can lead to increased cytokine production.
