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

Melioidosis is a severe disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Previously we showed that pretreatment of mice with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) 2 to 10 days prior to B. pseudomallei challenge conferred as high as 90% protection, but this window of protection was rather short. In the present study, we therefore aimed to prolong this protective window and to gain further insight into the mechanisms underlying the protection induced by CpG ODN against B. pseudomallei infection. It was found that the CpG ODN incorporated with cationic liposomes (DOTAP) but not zwitterionic liposomes (DOPC) provided complete protection against bacterial challenge. Although marked elevation of gamma interferon (IFN-γ) was found in the infected animals 2 days postinfection, it was significantly lowered by the DOTAP-plus-CpG ODN pretreatment. When appropriately activated, the phagocytic index and oxidative burst responses of neutrophils appeared not to be elevated. However, macrophages from stimulated mice showed higher levels of nitric oxide production and exhibited higher levels of antimicrobial activities, judging from lower numbers of viable intracellular bacteria. Taken together, our results demonstrate that DOTAP can enhance the protective window period of CpG ODN to at least 30 days and provide 100% protection against B. pseudomallei infection. The protective effect of DOTAP plus CpG ODN could provide an alternative approach to preventing this lethal infection, for which no vaccine is yet available.
