Differential effects of Escherichia coli subtilase cytotoxin and Shiga toxin 2 on chemokine and proinflammatory cytokine expression in human macrophage, colonic epithelial, and brain microvascular endothelial cell lines.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is the prototype of a recently emerged family of AB5 cytotoxins produced by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC). Its mechanism of action involves highly specific A-subunit-mediated proteolytic cleavage of the essential endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone BiP. Our previous in vivo studies showed that intraperitoneal injection of purified SubAB causes a major redistribution of leukocytes and elevated leukocyte apoptosis in mice, as well as profound splenic atrophy. In the current study, we investigated selected chemokine and proinflammatory cytokine responses to treatment with SubAB, a nontoxic derivative (SubAA272B), or Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) in human macrophage (U937), brain microvascular endothelial (HBMEC), and colonic epithelial (HCT-8) cell lines, at the levels of secreted protein, cell-associated protein, and gene expression. Stx2 treatment upregulated expression of chemokines and cytokines at both the protein and mRNA levels. In contrast, SubAB induced significant decreases in secreted interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in all three tested cell lines and a significant decrease in secreted IL-6 in HBMECs. The downregulation of secreted chemokines or cytokines was not observed in SubAA272B-treated cells, indicating a requirement for BiP cleavage. The downregulation of secreted chemokines and cytokines by SubAB was not reflected at the mRNA and cell-associated protein levels, suggesting a SubAB-induced export defect.
