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

The Gram-negative bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens which symbiotically associates with the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, has a broad insecticidal and nematicidal activity. The virulence of P. luminescens toward the non-mutualistic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has not been described. We showed that when fed on P. luminescens, the intestinal cells of C. elegans worms become delicate and some crystal-like structure was developed within the intestinal lumen. Next, we examined the requirement of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway against P. luminescens. Depletion of pmk-1 by RNAi enhances susceptibility to P. luminescens, and numerous downstream targets regulated by the p38 MAPK pathway were induced when fed on P. luminescens. On the other hand, knockdown of daf-16 has no effects on C. elegans lifespan, but knockdown of daf-2 dramatically increased resistance to P. luminescens in a daf-16-dependent manner. We also revealed one of the daf-2 ligands ins-7 was induced and ins-7 deletion mutant survived longer when fed on P. luminescens. These results suggest the p38 MAPK pathway is activated and required for the host defense against P. luminescens. Insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway is inactivated by P. luminescens through the overexpression of insulin-like gene.
