Binding properties of Treponema denticola lipooligosaccharide.
Article in Journal of oral microbiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe cell-surface lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Treponema denticola possesses several biological properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the binding properties of T. denticola LOS to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, mucosal cells, and oral bacteria.
designLOS was isolated from T. denticola and labeled with tritium. Tritium-labeled LOS was placed in ECM protein-, epithelial cell-, fibroblast-, or bacterium-coated wells of a 96-well microplate. Following incubation, unattached LOS was removed by extensive washing, and the amount of bound LOS was determined by measuring the radioactivity in the wells. Peptostreptococcus micros coated with LOS was used to stimulate fibroblasts, and the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) by the fibroblasts was determined by ELISA.
resultsT. denticola LOS had a high affinity for laminin. It also bound to gingival epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Soluble CD14 significantly increased the binding of LOS to fibroblasts. More LOS bound to P. micros than the other oral bacterial species tested. Stimulating fibroblasts with LOS-coated P. micros induced the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8.
conclusionsOur study provided evidence that T. denticola LOS possesses the capacity to bind to ECM proteins, mucosal cells, and oral bacteria. In addition, LOS binding to bacteria may increase their pro-inflammatory potential.
