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

Staphylococcusaureus is a severe pathogen found in the community and in hospitals. Most notably, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is resistant to almost all antibiotics, which is a growing public health concern. The emergence of drug-resistant strains has prompted the search for alternative treatments such as immunotherapeutic approaches. Previous research showed that S. aureus exploit the immunomodulatory attributes of adenosine to escape host immunity. In this study, we investigated adenosine synthase A (AdsA), an S. aureus cell wall-anchored enzyme as possible targets for immunotherapy. Mice vaccinated with aluminum hydroxide-formulated recombinant AdsA (rAdsA) induced high-titer anti-AdsA antibodies, thereby providing consistent protection in 3 mouse infection models when challenged with 2 S. aureus strains. The importance of anti-AdsA antibody in protection was demonstrated by passive transfer experiments. Moreover, AdsA-specific antisera promote killing S. aureus by immune cells. Altogether, our data demonstrate that the AdsA is a promising target for vaccines and therapeutics development to alleviate severe S. aureus diseases.
