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

ibeA is a virulence factor found in some extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains from the B2 phylogenetic group and particularly in newborn meningitic and avian pathogenic strains. It was shown to be involved in the invasion process of the newborn meningitic strain RS218. In a previous work, we showed that in the avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) strain BEN2908, isolated from a colibacillosis case, ibeA was rather involved in adhesion to eukaryotic cells by modulating type 1 fimbria synthesis (M. A. Cortes et al., Infect. Immun. 76:4129-4136, 2008). In this study, we demonstrate a new role for ibeA in oxidative stress resistance. We showed that an ibeA mutant of E. coli BEN2908 was more sensitive than its wild-type counterpart to H(2)O(2) killing. This phenotype was also observed in a mutant deleted for the whole GimA genomic region carrying ibeA and might be linked to alterations in the expression of a subset of genes involved in the oxidative stress response. We also showed that RpoS expression was not altered by the ibeA deletion. Moreover, the transfer of an ibeA-expressing plasmid into an E. coli K-12 strain, expressing or not expressing type 1 fimbriae, rendered it more resistant to an H(2)O(2) challenge. Altogether, these results show that ibeA by itself is able to confer increased H(2)O(2) resistance to E. coli. This feature could partly explain the role played by ibeA in the virulence of pathogenic strains.
