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

Lipid raft-associated clathrin is essential for host-pathogen interactions during infection. Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that circumvents host defenses, but little is known about the precise infection mechanisms that involve interaction with lipid raft-associated mediators. The aim of this study was to elucidate the clathrin-mediated phagocytic mechanisms of B. abortus. The clathrin dependence of B. abortus infection in HeLa cells was investigated using an infection assay and immunofluorescence microscopy. The redistribution of clathrin in the membrane and in phagosomes was investigated using sucrose gradient fractionation of lipid rafts and the isolation of B. abortus-containing vacuoles, respectively. Clathrin and dynamin were concentrated into lipid rafts during B. abortus infection, and the entry and intracellular survival of B. abortus within HeLa cells were abrogated by clathrin inhibition. Clathrin disruption decreased actin polymerization and the colocalization of B. abortus-containing vacuoles with clathrin and Rab5 but not lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP-1). Thus, our data demonstrate that clathrin plays a fundamental role in the entry and intracellular survival of B. abortus via interaction with lipid rafts and actin rearrangement. This process facilitates the early intracellular trafficking of B. abortus to safe replicative vacuoles.
