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

backgroundHow host cell glycosylation affects EPEC or EHEC O157:H7 invasion is unclear. This study investigated whether and how O-glycans were involved in EPEC or EHEC O157:H7 invasion into HT-29 cells.

resultsLectin histochemical staining confirmed stronger staining with PNA, which labeled Galβ1, 3 GalNAc (core 1 structure) in HT-29-Gal-OBN and C2GnT2-sh2/HT-29 cells, compared with control cells. EPEC or EHEC O157:H7 invasion into HT-29 and its derived cells was based on the intracellular presence of GFP-labeled bacteria. The differentiation of HT-29 cells led to a reduction in EPEC internalization compared with HT-29 cells (p < 0.01). EPEC or EHEC O157:H7 invasion into HT-29-OBN and HT-29-Gal-OBN cells increased compared with HT-29 and HT-29-Gal cells (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01). Core 2 O-glycan-deficient HT-29 cells underwent a significant increase in EPEC (p < 0.01) or EHEC O157:H7 (p < 0.05) invasion compared with control cells.

methodsBacterial invasion into cultured cells was determined by a gentamicin protection assay and a GFP-labeled bacteria invasion assay. O-glycans biosynthesis was inhibited by benzyl-α-GalNAc, and core 2 O-glycan-deficient HT-29 cells were induced by C2GnT2 interference.

conclusionThese data indicated that EPEC or EHEC O157:H7 invasion into HT-29 cells was related to their O-glycosylation status. This study provided the first evidence of carbohydrate-dependent EPEC or EHEC O157:H7 invasion into host cells.
