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

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) is prevalent in East Asia. Liver abscess can develop after translocation of K. pneumoniae from a patient's bowel into the liver via the portal circulation. TREM-1 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1) amplifies inflammatory signaling during infection, but its role in KPLA is poorly understood. We used an animal study to characterize the role of TREM-1 in KPLA. We compared survival rates, bacterial burdens in tissues, inflammatory cytokine levels, and histology findings between wild-type and Trem-1 knockout (KO) mice after oral inoculation of capsular type K1 K. pneumoniae. Translocation of K. pneumoniae to mesenteric lymph nodes and liver was examined, and intestinal permeability, antimicrobial peptide expression, and the clearance of K. pneumoniae in the small intestine were determined. In the absence of TREM-1, KPLA model mice showed increased K. pneumoniae dissemination, enhanced liver and systemic inflammation, and reduced survival. Impaired bacterial clearance in the small intestine causes enhanced K. pneumoniae translocation, which renders Trem-1 KO mice more susceptible to K. pneumoniae oral infection. In conclusion, TREM-1-mediated bacterial clearance in the small intestine is an important immune response against K. pneumoniae. TREM-1 deficiency enhances K. pneumoniae translocation in the small intestine and increases mortality rates in mice with KPLA.
