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

backgroundIntestinal inflammation is associated with systemic translocation of commensal antigens and the consequent activation of B and T lymphocytes. The long-term consequences of such immune activation are not completely understood.

methodsC57BL/6 mice were subjected to 2 courses of treatment with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce colitis. Two to 7 weeks after the DSS treatment, the mice were infected intraperitoneally with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The outcome of infection was evaluated based on survival and tissue pathogen burden.

resultsMice that had recovered from DSS colitis displayed a significant increase in resistance to S. Typhimurium infection as indicated by improved survival and decreased tissue pathogen numbers. The colitis-induced increase in resistance to systemic salmonellosis lasted for as long as 7 weeks after discontinuing DSS and was dependent on T lymphocytes but not on B cells. Interestingly, depletion of CD4 and CD8 T cells just before the Salmonella infection did not alter the colitis-induced increase in resistance. Mice that had recovered from colitis had evidence of persistent activation of resident peritoneal macrophages and enhanced Salmonella-induced neutrophil recruitment to the peritoneum. Macrophage depletion with clodronate liposomes abrogated the colitis-induced increase in resistance to Salmonella.

conclusionsTaken together, our results indicate that DSS colitis leads to a long-lasting increase in resistance to Salmonella infection that is initiated in a T cell-dependent manner but is ultimately mediated independently of B and T cells as a result of persistent changes in innate immune cell function.
