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

introductionThe pathogenesis of bacterial meningitis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae is still unclear. Despite early treatment with antibiotics, its morbidity and mortality is still high. MATERIAL AND

methodsStreptococcus pneumoniae induced rat meningitis models were taken and divided into 2 groups; control (C) and meningitis (M). Western blot was used to detect toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1B (IL1B), nuclear factor κB (NFκB) and real time polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the expression of miR146a, miR132, respectively.

resultsWe found that the expressions of TLR4, TNF-α, IL1B, NFκB were all up-regulated in the acute stage of bacterial meningitis when compared to the control group. While for the post transcription factors, miR146a and miR132, the opposite was observed. They were down-regulated in the meningitis group.

conclusionsmiR146a and miR132 may take part in the pathogenesis of SP bacterial meningitis as well as the TLR4- NFκB- TNF-α/IL1B signal transduction pathway.
