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

As a novel effector mechanism polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which represent protein-labeled DNA matrices capable of extracellular trapping and killing of invasive pathogens. Here, we demonstrate for the first time NET formation performed by caprine PMN exposed to different stages (sporozoites and oocysts) of the goat apicomplexan protozoan parasite Eimeria arloingi. Scanning electron microscopy as well as fluorescence microscopy of sporozoites- and oocysts-PMN co-cultures revealed a fine network of DNA fibrils partially covering the parasites. Immunofluorescence analyses confirmed the co-localization of histones (H3), neutrophil elastase (NE), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in extracellular traps released from caprine PMN. In addition, the enzymatic activity of NE was found significantly enhanced in sporozoite-exposed caprine PMN. The treatment of caprine NET structures with deoxyribonuclease (DNase) and the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodondium (DPI) significantly reduced NETosis confirming the classical characteristics of NETs. Caprine NETs efficiently trapped vital sporozoites of E. arloingi since 72% of these stages were immobilized-but not killed-in NET structures. As a consequence, early infection rates were significantly reduced when PMN-pre-exposed sporozoites were allowed to infect adequate host cells. These findings suggest that NETs may play an important role in the early innate host response to E. arloingi infection in goats.
