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

Virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) inhibits apoptosis and triggers necrosis of host macrophages to evade innate delay in the initiation of adaptive immunity. Necrosis is a mechanism used by bacteria to exit macrophage, evade the host defenses, and disseminate while apoptosis is associated with diminished pathogen viability. We have recently demonstrated that eicosanoids regulate cell death program of either human or murine macrophages infected with Mtb. We have defined prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as a pro-apoptotic host lipid mediator which protects against necrosis. In contrast, lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is a pro-necrotic lipid mediator which suppresses PGE2 synthesis, resulting in mitochondrial damage and inhibition of plasma membrane repair mechanisms; this ultimately leads to the induction of necrosis. Thus, the balance between PGE2 and LXA4 determines whether Mtb-infected macrophages undergo apoptosis or necrosis and this balance determines the outcome of infection.
